to lodge the foreign help which will
be brought to SeafOrd to work in the
canning of peas have been erected at

of oyster shells upon the streets of

street beds; but, of late the cost has
been so much that the town authori-
ties have found it as cheap to use
crushed stone on the streets, and that
it wears better than the shells. For
this reason several carloads of the
crushed stone have been bought and
used in the repair work of the Sea-
ford streets this season.

examples be made of those who have
been doing this, by prosecutions and ,
