Rapidly Pushed by City.

The progress made during the past
few days on the Front street inn
proVements has been most gratifying
TO the general manager and the other
city officials, the weather of the past
week being favorable TO work of this
kind. An immense amount of dirt and
stone will have To he handled I'm maxi
ing the excavations and FIJI but the
haul is short and this allows the work
to be handled quite rapidly.
General Manager StoclSly Is greatly
pleased that the city is doing the work
Itself instead of having 1t done by
contract as he is convinced that while
1t makes little more worls for the city
officials, IL will also save money for
the taxpayers. AS nearly as he can
estimate the expense that the city will
nave to be put to In making these
changes. az compared with the price
a contractor would want for the
work, he Is convinced that the city is
getting the better end of It, the cost
being about two thirds of the amount
that contractor would ask for the

BIRTHS AND DEATHS.
Nineteen Births and Seven Deaths For
September in Hancock.

According To the reports filed IN the
office of the city clerk for the month
Of September, the number of births
will not equal the record OF Septem-
Der, 1911. only nineteen being record
ed rs against twenty-sevcn for the
corresponding month last year. All OF
the births have not been reported yet
in all probability and the September
total may be increased somewhat Yet
when all of the returns are In but II
is hardly probable that 1t will equal
the total of year ago.
In the number of deaths the past
month shows to good advantage when
compared to September 1911, seven be-
ing turned In this past month and M
teen being recorded for the previous
September. This Is an encouraging
showing but II is not remarkable a.
tho deaths for the different months In
1912 have been uniformly lower than
in 1911.
