been spiked, dressed with stone chips and

ever before. The labor Of laying the &C.
ment sidewalks was let out by contract,
and the excavations, curb-setting, etc.

"The paving on North Main street has
been hand swept, which, think. has been

that three men should be- used on the
lob. The inventory OF street department
