WAR work DRIVE
GETS EXTENSION
Workers Have Until We'd
nesday Night to
Secure Quotas.

The time for collecting funds for the
United War Work fund has been ex-
tended until Wednesday midnight and
workers are urged to speed up and see
that quotas in the various commun1-
ties and districts are raised by that
time. This announcement was made
by County Cairman R T. Cunningham
who urses that no stone be left I'M
turned by the workers in bringing in
belated subscriptions.
It is largely up to the county dis
tricts il Marion county is to come
across with her quota of the United
War Work fund. Fairmont is safely
over the top each ward having prac-
tfcally raised its allotted amount
Many districts and communities in
the county have met their obligations
in this drive yet there are a number OF
communities which so far have failed
to make up their share of the fund.
Encouraging reports came into head
quarters today from several outlying
districts which lead the campaign OF
ficials to believe the country workers
are hard at it.
Hess school reported through ita
captain, J. H. Hess, today that the
people OF that community had raised
their quota, including the additional
fifty per cent asked.
Bad weather, Illness and other
causes have helped to present the
work in the country districts from pro-
crossing as rapidly as it otherwise
would have done and it will require
strenuous efforts on the part OF the
workers If these districts are to come
up TO their obligation and raise the
necessary sums.
Meetings which were set for country
districts have had to be called or on
account of bad weather and it will re-
quire individual and united efforts
many Of these communities com;
across with their quotas.
A meeting was held at Norwood yes
terday afternoon and this meeting
was addressed by A. ]. Kern anc
Mayor Anthony Bowen. About ha!l
of this community's quota has been
subscribed and every assurance is CIV
en- that the allotted quota will be
raised by Wednesday night

In order to prevent waste water and
debris from accommodating at the end

new concrete bridge across Coal run
ravine steps have been taken by the
city Board Of Affairs to lower the
grade from the bridge approach down
Cleveland avenue toward Jackson St.
After nemberS,of the board Of at

avenue and city engineers had inspec-
ted the grade and gene over the Sit
uation carefully the Board OF Affairs
authorized Street Commissioner A L

in order that the changes might pc

The grade will be lowered consider
ABLY and will extend down Cleveland
avenue from the bridge approach a
distance Of approximately 100 feet.
The grade viii end at the far end OF
the Professional building where the
natural grade begins toward Jackson
street will probably necessttate
the lowering of the sidewalks along
the street also.
The Board OF Affairs deemed It ex-
pedieat at this time to do this Work
owing to the fact that the paving on
Cleveland avenue is already up for
probalv half the required distance on
account of the bridge approach con-
