improvements to the sidewalk in front
of the Campbell block on North Main
street around which considerable agita-
tion has lately conferred, viii be de-
ferred until next spring, according TO an
emanating from city hall

effect on many people who are compelled
literally to skate across the walk at that
point in the winter months Tuesday

the block and the Granite Savings bank
and then voted TO continue the cement
walk project now under way in front Of

quantities Of hardwood stakes from fat
freight cars. Every car of this type
commonly used for shipping granite is
fitted with large number of stakes and
with the approach of colder weather
many woodpies have been augmented

seem to regard the stakes, as well as
other loose lumber, as perfectly legiti
mate objects of plumber and the freight
yard raids have been frequent and rich
IN results for the marauders. Both
roads had sustained considerable losses
N this way when the police were asked
70 take a hand. In one cellar alone sew.
sral dollars worth of stakes We're found,
neatly piled for winter use. 1t is quite
probable that prosecutions win follow,
Is the railroad authorities are anxious
70 end such thefts
