New Cement Walks.

From present indications this is to
be the banner year in Moscow for ce-
ment walk Local contractors report
many large jobs already in sight, with
much more work under contemplation.
Investigation will prove to the salts
faction of anyone that cement walk
has been, is now, being laid in Moscow
for less money per yard than in any
other town in the northwest some
places paying as high as fifteen cents,
while last year it was laid in Moscow
for ten cents, a price that is extremely
reasonable, and at which price the
best of work was done. Moscow peo-
pie have not reason to complain ut
the price asked by local contractors
for cement walk. And at the prices
asked in Moscow there is no reason
why many miles of cement walk should
not be laid during the next few months.
Moscow people never made more
serious effort to clean up the town
than they are now making.

ers that the need of new court house
is urgent; that the record to their
farms is today without protection, and
that it would not be economical to
spend good money patching up; that
the proper thing is to raise a little
more and build court house that
would do for at least half a century,
or more. They argue that the expendi-
ture of $4,000 will but postpone the
necessity of new court house, and
that any repair will mean just that
much additional burden to the tax
payers in the end.
