Grand Junction, Colo, July 81

church of this city, in answer to an
arraignment made by Miss Helen Mil

old maids.
Recently Rev. Mr.. Huffner delivered
a sermon on Love, Courtship and
Marriage" in which he declared that
old maids and bachelors should be iso-
lated on some desolate island from
civilization.
The sermon was widely printed and
Mr. Huffner has received from Miss
Gould a letter challenging his state

TAKING OWN Time
TOBEGIN WORKING
Mccarthy Improvement Com,
pany Lets Another Week
Turn to History.
NO MOVE is MADE AS YET
Let Dull Business Season of Year &C
by, Thereby Disseminating
Merchants.

Another week has gone by and
still the efforts of the Mccarthy I'M
provement company along the line of
improving Second avenue between
Fourteenth and Twentieth street by
laying asphalt, according to their con-
tract, amount TO a great big zero
without so much as line around it.
Apart from the eXasperating delay on
the part of the company, the citizens
are resenting their slothful attitude
because of the fact that this, the
most quiet season of the year, is
bounding along into history without
the company stirring out of its tracks
to accommodate the community, even
though the time for beginning the
work has sailed quietly by. The mer-
chants along the avenue, the bust
ness center of the city, want that
paving down now when the season in
business is slack. They do not want
! ii TO wait until the autumn season
opens in full blast and then be great
| ly disconnected whereas at the pres.
ent time, the progress of the improve
ment would interfere but little with
! business.
NEED GOOD INSPECTOR.
But the company is content to take
its own sweet time and begin the
work along in the fall just as trade
livens up. They are just about a
month overdue now, but still there
is no real explanation of delay.
At this time, it is seemly for the
board of local improvements to look
to the appointment of an inspector OF
the Second avenue job. The asphalt
paving is an experiment on the bust
ness street and so it is important that
the job be watched by a man who
knows something about the work. II
would be wise to get a good man tc
watch the job, for there is little tc
prove that the company which holds
the contract has any particular de
sire to complete a fine job.
WAITING FOR OCTOBER.
OF course the company has till way
into October to finish, but that is
no reason why it can not begin accord
ing to the terms of its contract.
