as an extravaganza. but as the results

has proved quite so commendable and
received so much favorable comment.
Mr.. Cole has had general supervision
of the road work and besides has had
sidewalks put to grade and construct
ed a large drainage sewer at small
expense. He has demonstrated that
the city has been penny-wise while

Gil deserves great credit for having
