Play Makes Hit

The home talent play given at the
school auditorium Friday evening
last week proved to be one of the
best ever seen in Alberta. Despite
the fact that many difficulties had been
met during the rehearsals and once the
play had to be postponed. A large
crowd came out to witness the per-
Torrance. The proceeds amounted to
$43.O which was more than the pro-
motors of the play expected under the
circumstances. Liberal advertising
helped make the play financial sue
cess.
Prof. Grafelman had the leading
role and was easily the headliner in
the cast. His costuning disguised
him perfectly, and he portrayed the
character of an aged man with sim
plicity and ease. Mrs. Harlow apper-
ed in place of Mrs. Maanum who
was taken i'll two days before the
play. Mrs. Harlow set about i'm
mediately to learn the lines and those
who saw her in the play declare her
work could not have been improved
upon. Miss Hazel Gulbranson appear
ed as "Polly" and excelled all former
efforts before the footlights. All the
rest did splendidly and there wasn't a
weak part in the whole show.
The play will be reproduced Sun
day afternoon at 2 80 for the bene-
fit of large number who failed to see
the first performance. The room
will be darkened in order to bring out
the scenic effects. Requests have
come from Donnelly and Hancock and
it is probable that the play will be
given there.

roadsways depend on traffic condi-
tions."
City Auditor Cesander writes from
Grand Forks that "Plans are now
about decided on to pave residence
streets % feet wide in the future.
This will reduce cost of paving, and
also fully serve road requirements"
The city of Hastings has 6O-feet
streets with a 28-foot roadway.
Chas. Doffing. city treasurer, writes
that call roads are being laid out
lately same as above. We think the
dimensions are perfect"
Casselton, N. D., where the streets
are 100 feet wide there is no parti-
cular rule for determining proper
width of road way. The town was
plated with wide streets same as
they are now, and City Auditor Cor
rell writes that it is believed in Cas-
selton that it is easier to keep wide
street in good condition.
From Virginia, the Queen City on
the Range" comes this letter ::
"Aside from the information given
in your form / would say that prac-
tically all of our streets in the re-
sidence portion are "a feet while the
avenues are 81 feet wide on a 66-foot
street or avenue. The avenues run
parallel to the length of the city so
that the traffic is heavier on them
than on the streets. There are a
few streets on which the pavement
| is wider necessary on account of
traffic conditions, these streets being
inlets or outlets to a number of
streets and avenues. Your question
was brought up recently by Mr.. L.
W. Wilson, of International Falls, at
meeting of the League of Minnesota
Municipalities, and the discussion
which followed favored a narrower
street."
But the towns having paved streets
are not the only ones with narrow
roadways. Fergus Falls has no paw :
ed streets but the streets are only
% to 80 feet wide and there is no
sentiment favoring wider ones.
Glenwood has and is still cutting
down it's streets to 26 feet, the stand
ard width adopted by city ordinance.
The reason for cutting them down are
given in letter as follows.
IFirst-Twenty-six feet is ample
width if the street is kept in good
condition.
Second-It will reduce the cost of
maintenance materially.
Third-The wide boulevard will

improve the appearance of the street
and abutting property.
Fourth-The narrow roadway will
reduce the dust. nuisance where sprink-
ling or oiling is not done.
Fifth-It tends to stimulate civic
pride among property owners.
The letter further adds: "This
year the property owners along Chest
nut street have made an agreement
among themselves to improve that
street at their own expense according
to this plan, and all they will ask
from the city is the grading of the
street wherever that is necessary.
The estimated cost of this improve
ment is ten cents per front foot in ad-
ditton to little work they them
selves will do. Property owners
along several other streets intend to
do the same. When the narrow
street ordinance was first proposed
there was quite a little opposition.
After the street came and people
gave the matter second thought OPP
position vanished and everything
seems to be satisfactory now"
The majority of the Morris COM
mission members favor tie narrow
roadway but feel that the 24-foot
roadway on Fifth street will not
meet requirements for other parts of
the city. Sentiment generally favors
the narrowing of residence streets and
it is probable that % or 3O-feet road
ways will be adopted.
