Committee VIII pifses WooTkI

AS the result of resolution
passed at the last Friday night
meeting of the com mon council
the Com mittee on streets and
bridges will hereafter direct the
work to be done on the streets
of the city. Heretofore the work
has been left to Street Com
missioner Mike Larson to do as
he saw iit but for some
time there has been talk among
the mem bers about making a
change but no definite action
was taken until last Friday night
when the matter came up for
general discussion, with the re-
suit that the above resolution was
passed. There has been feel :
ing among the members of the
committee that the work was
not being done as it should be
and it was for this reason that
the change was made.
The council ordered a nnm Der
of walks condemned and the old
walks torn up. The walks con-
demned are as follows: North
side of east 5th street between
Central avenue and 1st avenue
east. North side of Omaha
street between 1st and central

But Baby Didn't Fall

Parents who reside in fats are
usually on the watch lest the
baby fall down stairs and this
is always giving them more OF
less concern, but in this instance
the baby did not fall but instead
the father of the household
accidentally fell down the stairs
with the result that he was
bruised up considerable. Ask
]. S. F. to explain. 1t was said
that he was going to pay more
attention to himself and less to
the baby hereafter. And it's q
good idea too.

The intense heat that has spread
over the country this summer has
had the effect of checking some o.
the debate in the Senate on the
reciprocity bill. 1t is now believed
that the bill will be finally passed
August 1st., 1911 which Presi-
dent Taft will promptly sign
and thus our trade with Canada will
rapidly spread and develop, thus
adding to the prosperity of botf
countries.
