ARROYO WORK is DELAYED
Bridge Construction Halts Until
Steel Bought from Rail-
road Arrives.

Inability Of the contractor to
secure delivery of the steel for
the arroyo bridge has halted
that work. 1t is not believed
that the delay will last many
days, however, as the railroad
company has positively promis-
ed to have the steel here very
soon.
The steel used is old steel rails
that have been taken up from
tracks, but are in sufficiently
good condition to make excellent
material for reinforcement in
concrete work. In fact, it is the
material the state uses in bridge
work.
Special permission had to be
obtained from the government to
enable the railroad company to
make delivery of the steel for
the arroyo job.

POLICE GET THE MONEY
Department Is Rounding Up All
Those Owing City for Busi-
&, ness Licenses Overdue.

5. Arrest of a business man yes
terday by the police department
for neglect to pay his business
license of SIS a month for seven
months called attention to the
fact that the present police de-
partment is proving decidedly eff
ficient in securing the license
fees from business houses.
One of the departments Off
GERS has been detailed on this
work, with the result that about
$1,000 has been collected al
ready this month, with about
$500 more in sight before the
close Of the month.
Not only has the department
compelled those in arrears to pay
up, but it has also discovered
several concerns that have never
paid any license since they start
ed in business, and has put them
on the "pay list" The effect OF
these activities can best be fig
.uled when it is known that the
license fees under the former adj
ministration have been averag-
ing about 1,0O0 a month.

compared with 16 for the entire
