Considered a Good One

& At a meeting Of the city council or
Monday evening at the city hall bids
were received for the additional blocks
of paving as advertised in the Denison
papers. There was only one bid en-
tered. that, being of the M. L. Finn
Construction company, of Sioux City
whose bid was so reasonable that the
council awarded the contract.
The contract as let is a little higher
than that for the pavement which is
now being put in, but it is generally
understood that the contractors are
losing money on the present job. The
twelve blocks of paving were let for
$1.42A per cubic yard, while that let
early this spring was for $1.27k, an
increase of II cents per cubic yard. The
bid Of the Finn Construction company
is as follows: -
Concrete paving, per Gu. yd., Sl.42k.
Extra stone, per Gu. yd., $500.
Extra sand, per Gu. yd., $1.50.
Extra grading, per GU. yd., 4Oc.
l.Xtra concrete, per Gu. yd., 81 so. s.
Building new curb, per lineal foot, 3Sc.
Resetting curb, per lineal foot, 1Sc.
The new contract is made up OF two
jobs, that on Court street and that on
Sweet street. On Court street from
the Normandy hotel to the crossing. at
the l. G. tracks, will cost $1S,6S6.50.
Sweet street, from the Carnegie library
to the Northwestern freight depot, will
cost S16,207.75. 1'.. e-#'. 49,. @@
Mr., M. L. Finn was present at the
meeting and signed up the contract
and stated to the council that he will
commence work on the new contract
September 1st and expects to have a
large portion of the work done before
freezing weather sets in. S. r .
After the letting of the paving con-
tract the council discussed the matter
Of cleaning the streets and all Of the
members were agreed that a street
llusher would be the most feasible
means of keeping the streets in good
condition. Mr.. B. Brodersen, on the
part Of the business men, submitted
the proposition of paying. the cost of
the paved streets; for the bal
ance of this year il the city would buy
the fusher. The council did not take
any action on this, however, it being
left over until the meeting to be held
next Monday night.

LAST SUNDAY EVE

munity-Funeral was Held at
, Toledo Yesterday Afternoon

The community was shocked on Mon.
day when news reached Denison from
Toledo, Iowa, that Miss Vera Poole,
daughter of Mr.. H. G. Poole, had been
killed in an automobile accident at 8
o'clock Sunday evening. Harold Poole,
a brother, received telegram early
Monday morning advising him of the
death of his sister. and he left immedi-
ately for his home at Toledo.
Full particulars of the accident have
not reached Denison, but we are able
to learn that Miss Poole. together with
a party of five others, was enjoying a
motor ride. A young boy was driving
the car and on a steep hillAnear Toledo
the engine stopped working with the
result that the caH started backing
down the hill. The brakes were set
by the driver, but they failed to hold
and the car plunged backward over q
twelve foot enbankment, turning tur-
tie. Miss Poole was killed instantly,
and it is believed that her head struck
on one of the tenders of the machine,
causing concussion of the brain. Two
other members of the party were in
jured, one boy having an arm and sew

of the party being only slightly injured.
The Poole family were residents of.
Denison for several years, Mr.. Poole
being engineer on the Boyer Valley
branch of the Northwestern, having
the run from Denison to Wall Lake.
Miss Poole attended the public school
in this city, graduating from the high
school last June. She was most active
in the high school life and was one of
the members of the debating team. She,
was actively interested in church work
and sang in the choir at the Presbyteri-.
an church. She was held in high
esteem by every one in the community
and her death has caused a profound
sorrow. &ie
She leaves to mourn her death her
