PAYERS ARE TO
BEGIN THEIR WORK
Contractors Here to Begin Work on
AudubOn's Paving Contrast and
Work Is to Begin At Once

1t can now be definitely announced
that the grading for the new paving
for Audubon will commence Satur-
day morning, or Monday at the lat
est. Because of the continuous de-
lays, many had begun to think that
inc paving would be done this year,
because 1t might be impossible to
finish the contract before the winter
weather set in.
Yesterday the grading machine
came In on the Northwestern, and
will be followed today by the tractor
and ten dump wagons, which were
shipped from Oman and are expected
to arrive. Everything should be In
readiness to start grading work Sat
urday. City Engineer Segel states
that he will urge the completion OF
the work as rapidly as possible, and
feels confident that 1t will be posi-
BILE to complete the paving contract
here by December LIST. t>E
1t is expected that the curb and
sewer gang will begin in a week.
We understand that the curb and
gutter can be laid faster than the
grading can be done. The base gang
Is expected here in three or four
weeks. The paving contract at Ida
Grove has not been completed. In or
der to fill his contract here, the con-
tractor purchased new outfit to do
the Audubon work. Many of our town
people will enter the employ Of the
paving company to assist in the grad
ing work. Several have contracted
to furnish teams.
The contract calls for the paving
of about forty blocks with asphaltic
concrete. All of Broadway will be
paved from the Rock Island depot
east to the Charles Van Gorder resi-
dence on LIST Avenue, then south four
blocks on LIST Avenue to South Divi-
sion street to the residence of Geo.
Scott. Tracy street will be paved
from the Methodist church corner to
the Northwestern depot.
Paving will extend one block north
and south of Broadway and all
around the city park. Commencing
lat the Christian church, the paving
will go east to 3rd Avenue or Laws
LIST addition; also from the Catholic
church north one block to the John
Reuschling residence. e@
The grading work will be begun in
the east part Of town, which is the
farthest point from the base Of sup
ply. An effort was made to have them
grade and pave Broadway first, but
this the contractor, we understand,
refused to do, stating that It would
interfere greatly with the progress Of
the work. Many are regretting that
the paving is to be done at this time,
as 1t Is feared that the streets may
be badly torn up at fair time.

The money necessary to meet this
