The street commissioners OF Colfax
are getting the brick on the ground to
build a curb to the ditch on the west
side of Mrs. S. M. LaCroix's lot. The
intention is to gravel the sidewalk west
of the court house, and also the La
Croix sidewalk, and the walk north Of
the high school building. The bridges
at the street crossings will also be re
built, thus making much needed pass
way for about $50 children to get q
