PAVING BID SUBMITTED
MAYOR M'NULTY RECEIVES BLUE
PRINTS AND ESTIMATES.
viii Cost $40, 79O.7O to Pave With
Asphalt ALI of Main and a Part
[ of Lee Streets.

Asphalt All of Main and a Part
of Lee Streets.
Mayor F. M. McNulty has received
from j. B. McCreary Company, con
tracing engineers, the blue prints Of
the recent survey of Main and Lee
streets and the estimated cost of paw
ing the business section of these
streets with either wood blocks OF
asphalt.
1t is proposed to pave Main street
from Hill & PAGES warehouse to the
Central depot and Lee street from
the corner of Lee and Stonewall to
the corner of Lee and Vine, and the
estimated cost as submitted by the
engineers will be $3.50 per square
yard for wood blocks, $2.95 for brick
on edge, concrete base, and $1.55 for
asphalt with concrete base.
The engineers recommended as
phalt and the estimated total cost of
paving and grading with this mate
rial is $4O,790.7O. The estimated
total cost of grading and paving with
asphalt and laying curbs and side
walks is $58,292.94.
1t is proposed by the city authori-
ties that one-third of the cost of the
street paving be paid from the
municipal treasury and the remain
ing two-thirds be paid by the prop
erty owners.
The McCreary Company will in a
day or two submit to the property
owners the prorata of their cost for
the work for their approval. If the
price submitted is agreeable the COM
pany proposes to accept bonds from
the property owners for future pay
ments on easy terms.
Mayor McNulty says that before
the work of paving is commenced it
will be necessary to lay iron water
mains over the section to be paved,
because the present concrete sewers
are not durable.
There is nothing that would ad-
vance Dawson as a city more than
the paving of the business streets,
and it is to be hoped that the move
ment will be successful.

Southwestern Reflections.

Have you joined the number OF
those who are taking part in tho
Potato Day Campaign? Interest
in the subject is increasing daily
because the people understand
that good money can bs made by
putting pumpkin yams on the
market early. Also, to do SO will
be to take long step in the direc-
ton of diversified agriculture,
which is the mother name for pros
perlty.
AT Centrevills, in the heart OF
the sugar belt, the farmers are
taking up the work in earnest; and
last week a most interesting "PO-
tato Day" meeting was held at
Lake Arthur, where an active CO.
operative club is already doing
business. Inquiries are coming
from many of the parishes and the
movement is spreading like Wild
fire.
The "get together" leaven is
working throughout the district.
Even as the dogwood blossom is
the sure indication of Spring. 80
the alacrity with which the farm
ers are responding to tho call for
volunteers in the sweet potato
movement Is a certain herbinHer
of agricultural progross.
| Indeed revolution is coming
throughout Southwest Louisiana
Its approach is not heraldsd by
the booming of cannon, nor the
tread of militant hosts. Bloodles'
indeed it is, but not swearless
And what is stranger still, it pro
posed to enrich those who enlis
under it's banners, not by spOill
wrested from vanquished foe, bu

That's what Potato Day moan

poses a peaceful revolution b!
means of which all shall DO mad

1t simply means a clean not ad
dition to the wealth Of tho peOpl
