WIDEN LINCOLN HIGHWAY.
Tama Commercial Club Continues Goo

Tama Commercial Club Continues Good
work Of Road Improvement.
Special to Times-Republican.
Tama. June 1.-THE Tama Com
mercial Club has again demonstrated
its progressive spirit by buying sew
enteen foot strip of land off the south
side of the old Gallagher farm which
has been thrown open to widen the
Lincoln highway in that part of town.
This Is an improvement long needed
and since the present city council did
not think it had any money to improve
this national highway. the club COM
mittee took it upon themselves to put
this deal over. The fence has already
been set back and the telephone poles
will be removed at once and 1t is hoped
that the council will see the necessity Of
doing the necessary grading to make
this strip of road a credit to the city.
It is on this particular piece of road
that the massive pillars are being erect
ed which will welcome travellers to the
city. Work commenced on this gate
way today and the plans for the light
ing of the pillars have been received
from Franz Brzeczkowski. the noted
expert, who planned great deal Of the
lighting schemes at the Panama-Pacific
exposition.
