STREET IMPROVEMENTS
ARE BEING PLANNED
Crushed stone Being Distributed and
the Street Roller Will Put Street
in Condition for Winter.


The city has the stone crushGr al
work on the lot Just south 81 the Sal
timore and Ohio railroad erossifA ~
North Queen street and the big Pile OF
stone which had been collected there
is being crushed and spread on several
blocks or lNcrth Queen just beyond the
railroad.
The surface of the street Is being
raised several inches and the road roll
Ter is at work en- these blocks and
when the work is completed there will
be big improvement in the street in
that part of the city.
There was talk some time ago CT
paving that section but the plan has
evidently been given up. The resur-
facing will make that nuch-used
thoroughfare one OF the best streets
10 the ty. For some time 1t has been
in bad condition and the mud holes
had been a great annoyance to the
travelling public.
During the repair work automobiles
are using the other streets to Liberty
and thus avoiding the rough stone
which they would otherwise be COM
PEELED to motor over.

To Revive Commerce of Tripoli

Rome, Oct 12.-The approaching
landing of troops is impatiently await
ed. The sailors on shore are beginning
to experience exhaustion from being
on duty practically night and day.
One thousand sailors ia the six days
since they landed have constructed
temporary Notifications to protect the
important points Of the town, while
along the harbor they have built tenn
porary landing stages to facilitate
disembarkment Of the troops,
The ministry Of public works is pre-
pairing a plan to revive the commerce
and industry OF Tripoli.
The war Office is studying otgani-
cation Of the permanent body OF CO..
lonial troops which Italy will require
when the war is ended For several
years the garrison of Tripoli win be
composed wholly of Italians because
of the fear that there might be disaf-
tection among natives employed.
Hassund karamanli is now mayor
of Tripoli by decree of King Victor
Emmanuel
From the advices it would appear
that Munhir Pasha, commander of the
Turkish garrison, together with his
staff, trusted until the last moment
that they would receive reinforce
ments, and then retreated before the
Italian guns. Munhir is gathering his
forces in the Ghurian hills, to which
he retired
1t seems to be the intention Of the
Turkish commander to resist the
Italians as long as possible, but II he
is not reinforced to gradually retire,
following the Ghurian range, until he
reaches the frontier OF Tunis, which
his forces will cross rather than fall
into the hands of the Italians.
