WILL COST $1,000
TO REPAIR STREETS
Commissioner Gem Encoun-
tiers Difficulty in Securing
Laborers.

Much difficulty is being encountered
tanning men and teams to work for
the city at reasonable wages. The
street commissioner claims that Ia
borers demand fifty per cent more for
their services than at other times.
Yesterday a man appeared at the of
flee OF the commissioner and told the
street commissioner that he was will
ing to work at 81 per hour. He was
ordered out of the office.
will Not BE Robbed"
Il will not be robbed by these men
If it takes me another year to bring
the Richmond streets back to their
normal condition" said the street
commissioner. "Teamsters demand So
per day for their services when they
formerly received $3.50 from contract
ors and 81 per day from the city. I'm
less l obtain additional men it will
take me until the middle of the sum-
mer to repair the streets"
Commissioner Gem estimates the
damage to streets and sewers from the
rains and flood at $1,000. He stated
that all the streets In the city are now
open and that all dangerous places
were repaired and made safe as soon
as possible. The remainder of the
work consists of repairing and clean
ing the sewers and repairing surfaces
of streets.
$1,000 on Twelfth Street.
To repair the roadway near the
Twelfth street bridge where it was
badly damaged. the department will
have to expend $1,000. The roadway
was washed away for several squares
to a depth ranging from eight inches
to four feet. Already $500 has been
spent at Happy Hollow and twice this
amount will be spent before the work
there is completed.
South B street between Fifteenth
and Sixteenth streets was badly
washed. A complaint was filed by
Victoria Lindemuth who stated
through her attorney that she would
hold the city liable for all damage to
her property. Street Commissioner
Gem stated that this washout was
caused by wire fence from Reeves.

GROUND BROKEN FOR
ADDITION TO PLANT
City Engineer Says Addition
Will Not be Erected on
Higher Level.

The first ground for the city light
plant addition adjoining, the present
plant at the foot of Johnson street,
was broken by the contractors this
afternoon. 1t is expected that the
building will be ready for the new ma,
chinery by June.
The board of works contemplated a
change in the plans to raise the new
addition four or six feet in order 10
have the machinery above the high
water mark of the Whitewater river
After consulting City Engineer
Charles, this was found TO be impos
sible without raising the old building
TO the same level.
Although We arst believed it ad
visable to alter the plans for the
building, We have now discarded that
idea" said City Engineer Charles to
day. "A change in the plans would
mean a great expense to the city as We
would have to re-advertise for bids on
both the building and the machinery,
This. however. would be the least eN-
pense. 1t would be necessary to tear
down the old plant as soon as the
addition is completed and rebuild the
entire plant on the same level
To build the addition higher and
leave the main plant at is present 10
cation would decrease the efficiency OF
the entire plant fifty per cent. The
expenses for operating the two plants
would also be much greater as each
building would be run as a unit.
81 believe that the plant will not
suffer where it is from high water
1t may be years before the river is as
high again as it was this year and
by that time We may have built an en-
tirely new plant.
THE contractors broke ground fol
the foundations this afternoon. They

When Margaret Illington-Ta-
coma's own aetress-returns to
the city of her honeymoon next
Wednesday to present her latest
dramatic triumph, within the
Law" she will receive one of the
greatest ovations ever given an
actress in the west.
For 1t was In Tacoma that Mar
garet Ellington spent her honey
moon with e. J. Bowes, wealthy
real estate man of this city, four
years ago. 1t was here that she
announced her intention of for
tsaking the stage, and of attending
Ito housekeeping and raising chick
lens.
1t was in Tacoma that the old
lure of the stage drew Miss IL
lington-or rather, Mrs. E. J.
Bowes-back to the land of spot
lights and applause. And it was
here that she launched the first
play after her wedding-"In Eter-
nifty"
Since the honeymoon so pleas
antly spent In Tacoma, Margaret
Ellington has achieved a far great
err triumph than ever before in
her stage career. Her "Kindling"
of last season scored phenomen-
ally. In the role of Mary Turner,
