six weeks or two months, according to
information which reached this city to-
day. The total number of square yards
will run more than a million and the
amount Of money the various cities
win spend on these Improvements will
be close to $1.sOO.OOO Bids have been
asked or contracts have been let for

the work are as follows:
Missouri Valley, $4,000 square yards;
Denison, $4,000 square yards; Oakland,
10000 square yards: Clinton. 10000

pected soon, including West Liberty,
which is to lay $4,000 yards.
An idea Of the cost Of this work
may be had when 1t Is stated that the
price square yard will run from $3.50
to 81. and practically all the work is
to be done with sheet asphalt, altho
there will be some brick laid.
Cedar Rapids is not included in the
list of cities which arc to do paving
this year. but 1t is expected that some
work will be done as there are several
petitions now on file at the city hall
