CITY TO PAVE AGAIN
Block to be Laid on Michigan to
Bridge Street.

The city authorities have decided
to pave another block on Michigan
avenue this year, and while the
contract for the job has not yet been
made, it probably will be within the
next few days.
The paving is to be placed from the
end of the present paving on Michigan
avenue to Bridge street, about block
east. This carries the paving over
the entire Michigan avenue frontage
OF the Republic Motor Truck Com
pany, Inc, and will be a big aid to
the company. Mayor Mckinney ex-
plained to the Record reporter that
the company had pointed out the need
of this block Of paving, and as the
sewer has been laid in this block anc
the money was raised last year fol
the work, that it might as well be pu
in place.
1t will be remembered that yea
ago money was raised to pave Mich
igan aveune to the city limits, and al
that has been holding up the worl
has been the fact that the sewers hav
not been in place. To date sewer
have Just been laid to the corner o
Michigan and Bridge so that thi

FORM MUSICAL CLUB
Music Lovers of This City Join in a
Single Organization.

At recent meeting of committee
of persons interested in the musical
welfare of our city it was decided
most desirable and advisable to or
game all musical interests into
musical club. Any music lover of the
community may become a member OF
the club and share in its social and
musical advantages.
Under the auspices of this club
series of ten concerts will be present
eG. These concerts will include the
annual Messiah" performance at
Christmas. the May festival of three
concerts. the student opera and artist
rocitals Of high grade of excellence.
III connection with these concerts
there will be social gatherings for the
pleasure of the club members and any
quests who may be present.
BY thus uniting it is hoped that be-
fore many years Alma may establish
hel musical interests so that the great
orchestra and artists of America may
~ heard here. At present it is neces-
sary to journey to Mt. Pleasant, Sag
Einaw, Grand Rapids or Ann Arbor for
these advantages. If all interested
persons will cooperate, the time VIII
rot far distant when Alma may take
her place in the larger musical activl-
ties of Michigan.

FIRE IN CITY DUMP
Flaze Of Unknown Origin Burned for
Couple Hours.

Monday afternoon the city fire de-
partment was called to the city dump
at the corner of Ely and State streets,
where big blaze had been started
in the city dump and it took nearly
two hours hard work. with two
streams of water to eXtinguish the
fire.
Just what started the fire is UNI
known, but the probabilities are that
someone touched it off. 1t was fort
unate that the fire department was
called early as the fire spread rapidly
and has covered over half of the dump
by the time that the department ar.
rived. Being so dry, if the fire de
partment had not responded quickly
the fire would probably have worked
back under that portion of the dunn
that has been covered with dirt, II
which case hours of work would have
been needed to put it out.
With such dry weather, peopl'
should be more careful than usual II
their use of matches. 1t takes yer.
little at the present time to start
lig blaze. Even lighted mattel
thrown in the grass might start ba
fire. A little precaution may save
disasterous fire for the city.

PROF. HRBKOvA'S LECTURE

The lecture given by Prof. Hrbkova
in the Guild room of St Johns church
last Wednesday was remarkable in
every detail With a rapid utterance,
ii which every word was distinctly
given. the lecturer spoke for two
hor.s. Such absolute command of
dates. personal names and places, is
rarely met with The variety Of pic
lures was large. School books and
cathedrals; statues and paintings of
! Kings. statesmen. musicians and
poets; natural scenery and the com
mon life of the people illustrated
most perfectly each phase of the
lecture. Those present felt they were
listening TO an expert. 1t must be
remembered that Prof. Hrbkova is a
Bohemian and in her work in the
University of Nebraska is continually
dealing with similar subjects. The
two hours were full of pleasure and
information which would be very diff
cult to acquire by anything short of
living in the countries referred to.

REPUBLIC LETS
THREE CONTRACTS
New Structures to be Erect
ed at Once and will be
Completed This Fall.
THEY ARE FOR MAIN PLANT
Two Buildings Will be Large
Brick Structures-Other a
Long Frame Building.

During the past week three more
contracts have been let at the Repub-
lie Motor Truck Company, lncorpor-
atcd. each calling FOR the erection of
a new building, two Of which will be
brick structures and the third frame
structure.
The largest of these buildings will
be the same size as the other new
structures now under construction
900 feet in length and 90 feet in
width, one story brick. This building
will be to the east Of the main plant
or Michigan avenue. From Michigan
avenue, it will extend down Bridge
street thousand feet, or almost to
the river. This building is designed
for assembling, testing, etc
One of the other buildings, this one
tc be 1913 feet by 100 feet, will take
the place of the frame structure in
the court, just TO the north of Mich
igan avenue The frame structure,
which has been used for storage pur-
poses has been torn down already, to
make way for the new building. This
structure also will be used for assem-
bling.
I To the rear of the plant, back by
the banks of Pine river, where a
switch track has lately been laid, the
third building will be erected. This
structure will be a wooden building
! "a by 400 feet and one story in
height. This building will be used
for storage purposes.
The contracts for all three buildings
have been awarded to Henry Soule,
the local contractor, who has been
doing so much of the Republic work.
1t is the intention to get these build
ings ready as soon as possible, that
the company may have the much need
ed room, to take care of its rapidly
expanding business, and extensive
growth.
The fact that the Republic Motor
Truck Company, Incorporated, has
erected or let contracts for the erec-
tion Of five new structures during the
course of single summer, and all
of them large buildings, is a fitting
testimonial of the popularity of the
Republic trucks, sold on merit"

COLLEGE WILL OPEN
NEXT WEEK WEDNESDAY
Prospects Bright for Large En-
rOllment.. Especially in the
Freshman Class.

There is a big chance that all at
tendance records at Alma college may
90 by the boards, when the Preshy.
terian institution opens it, doors this
coming week. because Of freshman
class that may exceed that of two
years ago when Alma college had the
H. gest attendance in her history.
So far the college has the assurance
that there will be about ninty fresh
men enrolled, this number being only
those who have stated positively that
they are coming to Alma college this
fall This is the largest number that
the college has ever been certain OF
when the opening of college was still
week away.
Many others have made inquiries
as to Alma college, but have not made
reservations for rooms, or otherwise
signified their intention of attending
Alma college this fall, but there are
indications that a number OF these
latter will be enrolled before next
week is over and will become stu
dents at Alma college during the EN-.
suing year How many these young
people there are is of course ques
! tion.
Here in Alma only four or five have
been up to college to attend to elassi
fications. etc. and only this number
have been counted as result, while
il is almost certain that from dozei
to two dozen Of the graduates OF tn
high school last year Will be IN col
lcge, when it opens next week.
A number of former students,
limited number, however, are expect
ed to return this fall, and this WI
again add to the number, toward
making this the biggest year fror
an attendance standpoint in Alma
history.
Two years ago with one hundre
and twenty-one freshmen, enrolled
Alma had her largest attendance, an
with the conservative estimate thf
the college has made there is bl
chance that this banner mark ma
be passed.
Alma college will open next Wee
nesday, September goth for the ia
5 term. but the first two days of II
week, Monday and Tuesday, will
used for classification of the new ST
e dents, getting settled in the warrior
e quarters, and ready for the VOL

Notice has been received that the
10000 feet of four and eight inch
sewer pipe ordered by the city week
ago, has been shipped, and when it
arrives four more streets in Alma will
speedily get sewage.

tor avenues on the south side of the
river. Mayor Mckinney is now look
ing for tiling machine to dig the
trenches for the sewers. As yet he
has been unable to locate one. By dig
ging the trenches by machine the
mayor believes that the city will save
little money, because the machine
can dig the trenches at a more rapio
rate of speed, as compared to the
same cost with common laborers.
