STREET PAVING WORK
Is MAKING GOOD GAIN

Paving operations on Bridge street
have been moving lively the past
week. Almost all the dirt has been
removed between Congress and Divi-
sion streets and the grade established.
The roller, which evaded the trans
portation companies so many weeks
year ago, is supposed to have left
its winter quarters yesterday. AS
soon as it arrives and the graded sec
ton of the street rolled, work can be
started laying the concrete foundation.
Approaches are being made at almost
every lot along the streets course.
This necessitates doing lots of cir
cular work on the curbs.
The local job is only one of the
many being handled by A. H. Prange
the contractor. He is also in charge
of job at Lake Odessa and has two
or three in Wisconsin. Only last
week he was awarded a $500,000 con-
tract for sewer work in Wisconsin.
A portion of the sewer is to go twen-
ty-four feet into the ground.

BOULEvARDLIGHTS
WILL BE PLACED SOON

Foundations for the boulevard
lights are all completed except the
one at the northeast corner of Main
and Pleasant streets. Before the
foundation can be placed at this
place it will be necessary for Chas.
Stout to remove the present five-light
pole. Mr.. Stout has asked the right
to leave the pole standing as signal
to trainmen at night so they may
come to his quarters and get their
lunches. However, five-light pole
standing in the middle of a single
light system would look very much
out of order and it is believed that Mr..
Stout will acquiesce in the matter,
by being public spirited, and remove
the pole. 1t is understood that priv
ilege will be given him to establish
signal light on his corner.
1t is expected that all poles will be
in place before Chautauqua opening
The poles are here and the work of
installing will be pushed.

session after session before the ap-
the municipal hospital from the Wash

Georgia avenue site. the adoption of
the comprehensive plan for it's con-
struction and development through
years to come and the initial appro-
priation for the purpose. In this the
Commissioners and board of charities
never had the general popular sup
port which the project deserved, and
did have the opposition of those who
thought their hospital interests would
be adversely affected Senators and
preparations committees, whom We
took to see the Washington Asylum
Hospital. uniformly condemned it in
strongest terms. and those whom we
ana TO whom we explained the plans
1nolVidually, heartily approved the I'M
50ertaklng, but for the reasons given
nothing further has been done.
Naturally, am greatly gratified to
see the new interest in the matter on
the part of the Monday Evening Club
and others. and trust that it NAV
zDrlnS about the result for which we
nave worked so hard for more than
hfteen years. / trust that the plan
adopted will be that which the Com

LAY, with any notifications which ex-
periehce suggests, for at the time il
was regarded by all the experts Of the
country as the best hospital plan that
mad been devised. based as it was unon
