When Steel Comes

Work in paving district No. 1 will
close for the present with Hanlon &

ped from Chattanooga two weeks ago
yesterday, arrives and the state COM

Hanlon & Cakes will transfer their
crew to Miles City, where large
contract is in progress. When the
time is ripe this crew will return to
Bismarck to pave the street railway
right-of-way, and at the same time a
number of alleys included in the first
district will be given their bitulithic
surface. The paving contractors be-
gan their work late last fall, and
proceeded under difficulties, pushing
their contract with all possible speed
until nearly the first of December
and resuming operations early this
spring.
District No. 2.
In district No. Q the bulk of the
curbing is in place and more than
half the excavating has been done.
The steam shovel is working on Ave.
A, between list and End; curb is being
placed on Avenue G, between Fourth
and Sixth, and concrete base is being
laid on Rosser street between Eighth
and Ninth.
An idea of what the improvement
will mean NAV he gathered from an
inspection of the Fourth street curb
ing, which extends to the boulevard,
giving a splendid, wide driveway as
central artery for the city more
than 10 blocks in length. The prob
lem of handling the street railway on
Fourth from Thayer to the boulevard
is being worked out, and it is believed
the plan agreed upon will prove salts
factory to everyone.
