WORK THIS WEEK

There are differences of opinion as
to when work on the Front street
pavement, between Smith and Fay
ette streets, will be completed. AL
derman John j. Clark, former chair
man OF the street committee and
member Of the present committee.
mas stated that 1t appeared to him as
though the work would be completed
this week. This would mean that
1t would have to he completed by to-
morrow. At the scene of operations
it was stated by a property owner
that it looked as though the work
would not be finished for a month
Mr.. Clark states that the block on
Front street, between Smith and Mar
ket streets, has been staked out.
preparatory for paving in a similar
manner to the northerly end. He
believes that work on the strip south
of Smith stree. will be started some
time next week.
Some Changes on Job.
There have been some changes
made on the "rNnt street job since
the time of the recent exposure, but
is claimed by property owners along
the line that useless extravaganza is
still going on. 1T is predicted that
another exposure will be made by a
city official before long.
The complaining property owners
declare that while they may have to
face some big bills because of the
manner In which the work has been
conducted, the city will be the big
gest loser, two ways. 1t Will nave
to pay it's portion for the entire
pavement and in addition thereto a
large amount as a property owner,
because it is the biggest property
holder in the block, it is declared.

circulated demonstrating against the
proposed transfer of a liquor license
from 33 Smith street to the Market
street location, owned by Nicholas
Toft>
Four remonstrance petitions have
been put In circulation during the
past few days. following a notice of
an application which is to be filed
with the Board of Excise Commits
sioners asking for the transfer, by
Floyd T. Brown, formerly proprietor
or the Island House, at Smith and
Rector streets. Mr.. Brown has also
a petition in circulation and is gain
ing the names of those that desire,
or at least do not object to, another
saloon in upper Market street.
One remonstrance bears the sig
nature of d. A. Shirley, a real estate
broker; the name of the Mathol In
vestment Company, OF which Chris.
Mathiasen Is president, which con-
Germ owns considerable real estate in
the vicinity in question, and another
remonstrance bears the names of Of

An ordinance to provide for the
establishment of municipal electric
light plant in this city has again been
condemned by bond attorneys and 1T
may become necessary To pass 1t for a
third time. 1t is claimed by Cald-
we'll, Masslich & Reed, of Ill Broad
way, New York, who represent the
city as bond attorneys, that the latess
ordinance relative to the subject
specifies no date from which interest
on bonds shall start and was not

ously disapproved because the official
for a sinking fund.
Alderman F. William Hilker,
father Of the municipal electric light
movement, appeared dissatisfied with
the slow progress that was being
made when seen today. He declared

torneys did not speak abou. the omis-
sions In question when they disap-
proved the ordinance first introduced

set other attorneys to represent the

ed back that provision for a sinking

have gone further to prevent the
present delay.
First Ordinance In January.
The first ordinance was introduced
in January. Under advice of the
bond attorneys a sinking fund was
provided for in a new ordinance
drafted and introduced at meeting
of the Board of Aldermen on Febru-

possible to have final passage OF the
measure deferred until the trade
board officials had had opportunity 10
look into the subject, the document
was finally passed on the night of
February Is. 1t was approved by
