But all of this must be attended to

AT the present time Miss Fancy is
the star attraction of the zoo. She
has made Birmingham glad-not only
little Birmingham, but big Birming-
ham. She has caused little hearts to
the north and south and east and west
to thump against little ribs, and
caused little feet to trot out to see
her. And what joyous welcome she
has given her little friends. In the
afternoons they begin to come. In the
mornings Miss Fancy reclines in the
sun, tosses her trunk and even her
head. There is no doubt but that she
is restless. She wants something and
the trainer cannot imagine what it is
that she wants. And then shortly
after the noon hour little child ap-
pears. From the edge of the park, as
he comes running, he cries out a

data as to cost and methods, in case
the E. ]. G. f. plan is adopted.
Mr. Fuzek informed the visitors that
he would be in a position to mail
them the required information by
Wednesday or Thursday.
While the day was not altogether as
pleasant for the trip as it might have
been, inasmuch as the wind was blow
ig a gale. at the same time IT served
the purpose of calling attention to the
imm ediate necessity for action better
than a calmer day, account OF the
opportunity thus afforded to view the
current of the canal at it's swiftes,
The water yesterday was fully two
feet above normal.
Work on the bridge is progressing
nicely now, the caissons being all
completed and The remaining work to
be done being entirely on the super
structure and approaches.
! Mr.. Crowell. the contractor, made the
statement yesterday that the work
would be completed by the first of
July. the weather being favora Bile and
with a reasonable amount of good
| luck. This will be an immense relief
| to Indiana Harbor automobilists and
teamsters who have business between
Indiana Harbor and Whiting, now
more times on account of the torn UP
! condition of Chicago avenue.
| Mr. Westberg had planned to take
the commissioners over the full COM
pleted length of the canal. in a launch
even to the Lake George branch but
the tardy arrival of the visitors, they
having been detained on the road
made 1t impossible. That jaunt was
therefore postponed until more ia
vorable opportunity.
