 Promenaders took to the govern ment side of Central avenue and ad mired the work and applauded the in terest Superintendent Trowbridge had taken in having the full five light posts installed instead of the three light arches that awere origi- Hally designed for this work.
 The lighting system begins on Re- serve avenue so that parties coming in the city from the dapots get their first view of the effect mp Valley street, The second post on the south end is on the corner of Reserve and Central and from that point extend ing north to the Arlington hotel the posts are installed just 100 feet apart, and completing the lighting scheme in a most pleasing manr"~
 Many citizens who viewed the work last night stated they were hereafter open advocates of making all of the down town district interlined with a similar system of lighting. It is be- lieyed that some general plan can be arranged whereby the business men, property owners and public utilities company can cooperate, so the ex- pense will be equitably divided, and that it would not be a burden on any to have the down town district thus beautified in the evenings.

CONTRACT LET FOR

A MEMPHIS BRIDGE COMPANY GETS THE 420-FoOT BRIDGE

Bridge Over Cedar Creek Crossing Wil Not Be Contracted For Until

The Memphis Bridge Company was yesterday awarded a contract to build a steel bridge 420 feet long over the Gulpha creek by the commissi ners appointed to complete the Hot Springs-Little Rock highway The bridge will cost S2,3i5, the material to he delivered at Gulpha. and the company agrees to provide enough paint for cne extra coat
 The contract for the bridge over Cedar creek, which will a so be Of steel, was not awarded. owing to the fact that it will be Necessary to con fer with officials of the Iron Noun tain railroad as to certain changes ia the elimination Of crossings over that cOmpany's tracks. and until this is decided on it will be impossible to tell just where the bridge win be placed or the length of the same. If the bridge is placed at the present point a structure of only 175 feet in length would be necessary, but if it is moved to another point it Is likely [ to call for bridge 350 feet long.
 Jesse Murphy, who has the con tract for grading the new highway. is making excel ent progress. He has thirty men and fifteen teams at work. The total cost Of the steel bridges for this highway will aggre- gate, it is said, $tl,ooO. and Che high. way will he completed in time for the opening of the state fai
 The cost of the 420 feet of steel bridge as awarded in the contract will he $A3t5. This successful bid rf the Memphis Bridge Company was. as wi be seen. much cheaper than the bid Of the shelton Company. which was SI733.G0.
 Chairman Birkett Williams of the highway commission stated before the Chamber of Commerce last night that the proposition called for cash. and that unless the company had made the bid on cash basis the price would have been much higher This, of course, means that within a short while the mnssioners will have need Of more money on hand, and the subscribers are urged to ali mako their first payments, and those who can do so conveniently to make the second subscription. so the com. missioners will be prepared to meet this demand
