Ripping Up Macadam.

The work of preparing Second and
Main streets for the brick paving is
progressing satisfactorily. The steam

much sooner.
The steam roller has been used tn6
past two days, drawing pillow to ril
up the macadam ON the blocks not yet
gone over by the loader.

sewer down Mulberry street is well I'M
der way. The forms have been com
pleted, and the concrete work has be

has arrived.
The new storm sewer on Second
street from Walnut to Main is being
put III, the eXcavating work having be
gun yesterday morning. 1t started out
over the sanitary sewer and has beeI

tons on the street, laying some new
pipe, and lowering the mains where
they have been going through the storm

The street car company will lay new
oak or creosoted ties where the pave
ment will be laid. These will be sub
merged in concrete. 1t is hardly likel,
that heavier rails will be laid, for il
case an interurban line is constructed
the cars will not enter the city owe
