Street Commissioner Carr Promises to Have Thor oughfares in Better Con ditiOn Fair Week Than Ever Before

In anticipation of the big crowds which will visit Phoenix during the week of the state fair, Street Com missioner Griggs Carr intends doing some work upon the streets that will place them in better condition than they have been for sometime and which will assist in creating a most favorable impression of the city gen erally Particularly he will give at tention to Grand avenue, Seventh avenue and West Van Buren street. These thorOughfares, travelled more largely than any other during the days of the fair, are the ones which come more prominently under the eye of the visitor than the average resi- dential streets
 In the first place.. Superintendent Carr will soon place a number of men and teams at work on Grand avenue filling in every depression or rut and making that street to the line as smooth as the top of a table. From the limits of the city on to the fair grounds, is stretch of road that will also require attention and, work

FANCY SALAD
 MAN 'SOOWNFALL
H. A. Burger Denies Being Intoxicated in Local Res taurant and Attributes Trouble to High Cost of Living in Phoenix

When H. A. Burger orders another fancy dish in a restaurant he will probably inquire the price before clinching the deal. If he had inquired the price of a salad he particularly desired early yesterday morning in a local restaurant, he might have been able to conceal his intoxicated condi- tion and thereby escaped the hand of the law.
 The story all came out in police court yesterday afternoon. It was testified that Burger after having eaten a fancy salad and a hamburger steak with onions, baked at paying severty-five cents for the feast. He baked so strenuously that he even retained the two-bit piece he had rendered the cashier and went out into the night.
 The police found him a few min utes later and locked him up. They say that he was under the influence of liquor The proprietor of the es- tablishment was positive the man had been drinking and several dis interested witnesses said that in their opinion, he was pretty drunk
 Burger caused the afternoon ses-

sion of police court to drag out to a considerable extent by endeaVoring to show that he was just as sober as the proVerbial judge. He admitted taking one drink of Whiskey, which was probably true. Germans seldom drink much Whiskey and beer was not referred to during the progress of the hearing
 After the affair had been gone into more fully that it's importance, or un- importance, seemed to warrant fine of three dollars was assessed. Burger thanked Judge Thomas for the leni- ency shown in the fact of the dam aging evidence and stated, after a friend had arranger to pay his fine, T will let it go at that, but if the fine had been any greater I wouldn' | have stood for it."
 Just what he would have done in the way of not standing for what ever legal fine might have been inn posed had the judge been drastically inclined. was not divulged from any thing said by Burger subsequently.
