management of the st. Michael's college
football squad for playing a game to-
morrow afternoon at the hilltop campus

The aldermanic street committee has
practically decided to abandon plans for
building cement sidewalk and curbing
on the east side Of South Main street

next spring as the weather conditions
will permit. Members of the committee
and others in the street department aver
that they will be fortunate if,the wealth
er this fall permits them TO complete the
paving. An augmented force of paving
block layers is hurrying the work and
unless winter closes in early in Novem- |
ber as it did year ago, little difficulty |
will be encountered in completing the |
pavement this fall.
