HIGH COST OF PAVING
SIOUX CITY COUNCIL NOTE IN.
CREASE OF 10 TO 20
PER CENT.

Sioux City Journal 1t will be up
to the property owners of the city,
for the most part, whether they wish
to pay for paving next summer at
the increase which will be necessary,
according to contractors. Paving
men report that their materials will
cost them from 10 to 30 per cent
more this year than they have in the
past.
The men in the office of the city
engineer are preparing estimates of
the expense which will have to be
borne by the property n If the
paving is done.
Most of the paving which is plan
ned has been asked for by the people
themselves" said Councilman Lewis,
head of the park department. THE
petitions have either been circulated,
but not presented to the council, or
are being circulated. There may be
other petitions to come after the es-
Inmates of the cost on the streets
whose residents are interested have
been finished.
THE streets which the council be
lieve necessary to traffic are already
pretty we'll taken are of, and the
paving that would have been done
would have been done for the most
part at the request of the residents
along them"
The estimates of cost to individual
property holders are being prepared
by the engineers force for the first
time, in order to let them decide
whether or not they wish the paving
done.
1t was stated in the office Of the
engineer that without doubt the adj
vance in the cost OF materials and
labor would cut down the amount OF
paving which would be done during
1917.

A change in the method of run
ming off the games will be instituted.

ance with rules governing tennis
tournaments. The drawing takes
place and when the Its of competi-
tors comprise an even number they
shall meet in pairs. When the num-
Der of competitors is not an even
number there shall be byes in the
first round. The rules state how the
number of byes Is determined. I'm
der a tournament schedule in this
way, no team will be under a handi-
cap.
Two other important rules are
that no team may transfer its entry
to another and that if a team is alb
sent when called upon to play, the
game is forfeited to the scheduled
opponent.

NEW YORK NAVAL MIIITIAMEN
PROTECT STRUCTURES.

New York, Feb. Establishments

bridges connecting Manhattan with
Long Island. At sunset five naval
militia tugs, N an ocean going YES

river in proximity to the structures,
warning all river craft not to APP
proach within fifty feet of the bridge
piers.
Special vigilance was exercised at
the Manhattan. Brooklyn and Will

any one of these bridges, it was
pointed out, would interfere serious

from the navy yard.
To each bridge a detail of 100
militiamen was assigned with in
structions to search vehicles and pc
destrians crossing the bridges in the
direction of the sentries and to per-
nit no person to halt on the struc-
lures.
Constant watch was maintained at
the cable %anchorages and other
points where the discharge of a small
quantity of high explosives might
lead to the destruction of the bridge.
One three-pounder gun and machine
guns were posted between bridge
piers on both sides of the river. An

SHAFT FOR EXPLORER
FORT PIERRE RESIDENTS PLAN
A MONUMENT FOR VEREN-
DRYE, FRENCHMAN.

Sioux Falls, Feb. 6.-The residents
of Fort Pierre and Stanley county are
planning the erection of a monument
concentrating the heroic trip of the
intrepid French explorer, Verendrye,
through this part of the northwest IN
1743. Arrangements for the erection
of the proposed monument are in
charge of the Fort Pierre Commercial
club. The monument will be erect.
ed on a hill in Fort Pierre which will
make the monument visible for many
miles around. On the hillside neal
where the monument will be erected
was found by school children in 1913
a lead plate which had been placed at
the spot where found by Verendryc.
The lead plate contained engraving,
in which this country was claimed for
France by the explorer. The Fort
Pierre Commercial club Is seeking to
secure title to the ground upon which
it Is proposed to erect the monument,
and it is probable that the state legis-
lature will be asked to make an APP
preparation in aid of the expense of
erecting the monument.
