computation made by the officials OF

 The street has been widened at the Seidner and Saunders Corners, mak- ing the corners round and giving much more room for teams. The streets have been raised On the whole this work has been greatly needed in the locality named for some years past The old ditch on the east of Orchard street has been improved by the placing of a large chestnut box to carry off the water and this will do away with the unsightly appearance of the uncovered ditch None will appreciate the im- proyements more than the many school children who use these streets so much.

UPWARD MOVEMENT
CONTINUES
TRADING IN STOCKS ON WALL
STREET Is UNUSUALLY Ac-
TIVE FOR SATURDAY.

New York, March 29.-The upward
movement in stocks went forward
briskly today. Trading was unusually
active for a Saturday. and there was a
keen demand for all stocks. The days
gain amounted to one to two points m
many cases. The rise since the Begin
ming of the week reached six points
for Reading and Amalgamated, four to
five points for Union Pacific, Smelt-
ing. Lehigh Valley and Canadian Pa
cific, and two to three points for a
long list of these issues.
The demand for stocks in which a
large short interest is believed to ex-
list was urgent. This was particularly
true of Reading and Union Pacific.
More cheerful news from the flooded
districts and improved conditions in
the money market also encouraged
operations on the long side.
The bank statement made the
expected good showing. The tone of
the London market was irregular.

The proceedings were brought on the

cause the Burling ton rates, as compared

territory has been sparsely settled,

because there had been no material
change for "a number of years in con-

The conclusion was reached by the
commission after a hearing, however,
