Workmen on various Jobs in Keo

has been found necessary to lessen
some Of the work in order to give the

hot weather is interfering to some

days this week it was necessary to

The new paving gang which went on

OF the iron workers found it hard to
go ahead with their work during the
heat of the day, and the temperature
on the upper deck where the paving
is being done was such as to make it
for persons to walk
along the roadway.
Creosote blocks are being used in
the paving of the second deck of the
bridge. These are being laid as
rapidly as possible and it will not be
long before the official date for the
opening of the new bridge can be an

do with this as the gangs are not
able to work as steadily in the in

Contractors on other jobs through
out the city find it necessary to go
a little slow, especially through the
heat of the day. Worlmen in all lines
OF business are finding the continued
heat wave Is handicapping them in
their work to some extent, at least.
