WEATHER ALLOWS ALL
CITY WORK To CO ON
River Front, Plaza Wall, Second St.
Subway and Paving Jobs De-
layed Because of Rain

With the return of the sun. the flee
ing of the clouds and the passing of
generally unfaVorable weather to-day,
the citys various public improvement
jobs We're resumed with a rush
The rains of the last few days had
damaged to some extent the recent
ly planted slopes of the River Front
north of "Hardscrabble" but this was
remedied and the planting along the
banks continued. About 240 tons of
crushed limestone has been obtained
for use on the paths along the top
of the bank and some of this was down
to-day.
Park Commissioner Taylor is desir-
GUS of finishing the section of north
of "Hardscrabble" before beginning
the planting in the lower end of the
city, although the slopes below Null
berry street are now being graded. A
force of men was busy in that section
this morning. Before taking up the
other sections the grading of the new
/ Fifth and Seneca and the Sycamore
playground sites will likely be finish
ed.
While the weather held up to some
extent the work on the plaza wall at
the pumping station, the job will be
resumed Monday morning. BY that
time the big concrete mixer that had
| to be transferred to the Second street
subway TO permit the finishing touches
on the paving base will have completed
that work and will be removed to the
water house.
Paving work suffered too. because
of the recent heavy rains and while the
hauling of material was difficult in
some places, the Central Construction
and Supply Company had men and
teaCs on duty early to-day. Derry
street from Twenty-third to the east
ern city line is being concreted, Mar
ket street from Nineteenth street to the
new formal entrance to Reservoir is
being curbed and graded Concrete is
also being placed in Emerald street
from Front to Fifth and as soon as the
weather permits the asphalt top" will
| be done on some of the smaller Sec
tions of streets on the Hill.
