The first thing that a human Be-

Of money, the amount Of power, the
amount Of brains, that a man has,
but his character, that indelibly

Through the efforts of the Board
o: Trade. working in cooperation
with the bond trustees, the matter of
widening the brick paving on Ken
tucky avenue has been satisfactorily
adjusted and the paved surface of
this avenucirom Pine TO Lemon street
will be full forty feet wide, instead
uf thirty-siA feet wild" from Pine
tp Main, and thirty feet wide from
Main To Lemon, as had been provided
in the original plans.
When the work of placing the curb
along this avenue was begun Satur-
day. much disappointment was felt
that this main thOroughfare should
hay" such a narrow paved driveway
and u committee of the Board of
Trade took the matter up with the
bond trustees The latter, while
., rfcctly willing to make the change
suggested, were pOwerlcss to do so
unless the property owners along the
a,enuc consented to pay their pro-
eortion of the additional cost in
olNcd. Secretary iIolworthy made Il
ranyass of these property owners,
nd succeeded in securing their sig
natures 10 an agreement to pay TINS
extra cost. thereby bringing the mat
ter to satisfactory conclusion. Ev-
eryonc agrees that in the center Of
traffic the work OF paving should be
complete. both to avoid congestion
and for the sake of sichtliness of ap-
pearance II is. therefore. gratifying
that this ARRANGEMENT has been made
before the work had progressed SO
far as TO cause Inconvenience or un-
