Work in Water Up to
Waist on Wall Gan

In order to rush the work as con-
sistently as possible on the River Wall
gap at Market street so that a COM
pleted line. of steps may extend the
entire length of the city Water Front
before the big September public i'm
provement celebration, Elbridge W.
Cowden, engineer in charge of the job,
continued the preliminary work to-
day despite the rising waters.
More than 1000 sand bags were
ordered to build the Golfer dam
through the gap and nearly that num-
Der had been placed by noon. Men
worked waist and shoulder deep in
the water to place these bags. The
row that had been put into 1t last
week was submerged by the heavy
rains.
In placing the new line Mr.. Cow
den is killing a couple of birds with
a single stone. The "fill" for the pur-
chase is largely the accumulation of
the sand and other debris that had
been washed down on the River Front
walk at Boas street.

WILL OBSERVE
SATURDAY AS
HALF HOLIDAYS
BESIDES RAILROADS AND
WHOLESALERS MANY 9TH
ERS MAY JOIN IN THE PLAN
DURING THIS SUMMER.

Beginning with the first Saturday
in April, which will be April 8, Bruins
Wick's railroads, wholesalers and va
rious other places will put into effect
their half holidays on Saturdays, and
all of these places will be closed each
Saturday at noon, thus allowing the
clerks an afternoon off each week.
The plan of making Saturday a half
holiday was inaugurated many years
ago in the larger Gfss, and it is now
extending to all Sections, thes mailer
cities as well astGa- la<ger ones. Lo-
cally the railroad cqmpanies'9 have
been closing theiywArehouses at noon
on Saturdays darhg the Summer
months for the past three Aor four
years, while the wholesalers also in
auguratee the plan two Negrs ago, and
last summer the insuraNek offices and
others adopted the plan.S
This year, it is understood, other
business concerns will also close at
noon on Saturday and only retail bus
mess will be transacted. The four
railroads entering the city announced
yesterday that the Saturday half hol-
iday plan would be inaugurated this
year on April first. while similar an
nouncement was also made by the
wholesale merchants of the city.
Besides these and the insurance
men, it is also understood that an eff
fort will be made to get the lumber
offices, the steamer lines and other
such concerns to also close at noon
on Saturdays for the next five months.
The plan has not only proved popular
to the many employees who gain this
half holiday but it has been demon
strated that absolutely no business is
lost by those who have Joined in the
plan.
