The Water, Light and Power de-
partment has made a very decided i'm.
provement by installing two lights, on
an arc, on the street leading from East
Liberty, north to East Jefferson street
This street has been without lights
and the need Of them is apparent tc
anyone who has ever had occasion tc
pass through the street on dark nights
There is also promise that the side
walk along the cemetery from East
Liberty to the north end Of the ceme-
terry will be put in first-class condition
at an early date, an agreement having
been made between Mr.. Joseph Sassi
the Cemetery association and the
councils street committee to make this
much needed improvement, dividing
the cost Of the work between them.

in the United States district court

and smooth act he puts on to keeI
out Of the tolls This will be his first
appearance in Federal court however

seen.
