NINTH STREET is
GIVING TROUBLES
Temporary Improvement in Progress
Last Two Weeks is Proving Sat
isfact0ry to Commissioner.
TRAFFIC is EXTREMELY HEAVY
Despite That 300 Loads OF Old Mac
adam Have Been Hauled to High.
way New Ruts Are Made.

Ninth street is the bane of Commits
siOner Juhl's life. He admitted it to-
day and declared that only the ulti-
mate paving of the highway south of
Eighteenth avenue will make it COM
fortably passable.
Ninth street has been under the
course of temporary improvement for
the last two weeks Macadam paving
removed from Twelfth street has been
placed on the highway in an effort to
level it Off More than 800 loads of
this paving have been transported,
but still the street is not satisfac-
tory.
The highway has been dragged and
ruts have been filled in yet the recent
rains continue to spell havoc with
the condition of the road. Traffic over
the street is extremely heavy now that
Twelfth street is torn up for paving.
The result is that Ninth street con-
tinues to show depressions where
heavy wagons have sunk into the
ground.
There are about two more blocks
Of Ninth street still unimproved. 1t
is expected the remainder will be fin
ished Monday Commissioner Juhl
hopes to have it done at that time in
order 70 give a fairly good road in and
out of the city south for motorists
who journey TO Rock Island next week
to attend the centennial.
Street Cleaning Done.
Commissioner Juhl stated today that
practically all Of the street cleaning
has been completed, There is just a
little 10 be done in the west end and
