STREET PAVING
ABOUT FINISHED
Both JAS. KENNEDY AND BIRCH

UP ON THE ORIGINAL CON-
TRACTS AND THE PROPERTY
oWNERssaENERALLY PLEASED,

The street paving contracts OF. both
James Kennedy and Steve Birch &
Sons are about completed.
In fact, the two contractors are
just now busily engaged in clean
ing up the last of the great work.
Mr. Kennedy is cleaning up lit
tie patch out on Eighth street south.
His contract called for bitulithic paw
ing, and 1t was all done in the Third
ward Those who have examined It
are very much pleased with the work
and believe that they got fully the
worth of their money.
The contract of Birch & Sons called
for the bttuminous concrete paving,
which is a paving somewhat similar
TO the other, and the property owners
along the streets on which this pave
ment has been laid, too, are very
much pleased with what has been fur
nished them. All OF the original con-
tract of Birch & Sons Is completed.
It Is not believed that the extensions
ordered some time ago for Fourteenth
street and Ninth street south will be
attempted this fGll as the danger from
cold weather is entirely too great,
and the property owners are very
generally disappointed at not being
able to have 1t down yet this fall,
but would prefer to wait until next year
when there is no danger from the
