 The plans as drawn up by City En- gineer Ziesemer. which were sub. lnitted to the council at its special meeting Wednesday night. were ap. proved by the council after looking over the site Of the extension and the two bridge sites yesterday after noon.
 Program Wilt Be Rushed.
 The street superintendent said thst he would finish the road during his present administration. which will end on May 21. as he is not a candidate 10 succeed himsels. He believes that the road can be completed ir from six to eight weeks. but it may take longer time to get the bridges set as 1t will take two months to get the steel for the bridges here. acoordine 10 Mayor Newman
 The road will be extended from the present limit for distance of 1,603 feet, terminating near the residence Of Senator Sims, whose residence IS just outside the limits of the city. The cost of the extension and the bridge work as estimated by City En. sineer Ziesemer will be $4,70O and in the Judgement of the street superin. tendent the cost Of the work will net be within this amount.
 Much Steel Required.
 Twenty-twO thousand pounds Of steel will go into the two bridges and i've concrete piers will be built for the bridges, three for one and two for the other. Bids on steel and e. ment have been asked for by the council.

 Extra Men Employed.
 Not more than fifteen or twenty eX. tra men will be employed on the work as the present force of the street department will be placed on the extension work for the large part of their time. The activities Of the department will be concentrated on the extension until it is completed and the other street improvement work, as the present force of the great degree. lt is the desire of some of the city council that the extension work be rushed to completion as soon as possible and it is the belief of the street superintendent that it can be completed in from six to eight weeks.
 Mir. Mcdonald believes that the ex- tension would be a good place 10 make another oil test. He says tha. o!ling should be done at the time JEe road is constructed as the only addi ticnal cost would be the price of the oil and it's handling. As the road will be used by city and county travellers he suggested that the board of super visors might be willing to participate in the cost of the oiling-
