yesterday and the two works Will be

grade OF the hill.
: An agreement between the coun-
ell, school board and property hold
ers was reached during the week, sat
isfactory to all. Instead OF making
a 60 foot roadway up the hill there
will be only 20 foot roadway built,
thus lessening the cost considerably.
A stone retaining wall will be built on
either side and to prevent accidents,
a railing will be constructed.
The improvement OF the street will
also include the construction OF a
concrete sidewalk up the hill on the
south side Of Tustin street and the
reducing of the street to grade in
front of the high school property.
The dirt from this excavation will al
so be used in filling in at the hill
with the large quantity of dirt piled
on the high school grounds when the
excavation for the new building was
done.
The school board will level the en-
tire block of ground, plow 1t up and
prepare It to be seeded to lawn. A
concrete walk leading to the steps OF
the building will be built and 9th r
improvements made. Carefully drawn
plane will be followed in beautifying
the grounds. In the rear of the
building track for athletic teams

son car the Byers machine evidently
struck something and one of the
wheels caved in, thus causing the car
