Department of Public Works Also
Plans New Sidewalks

Plans for making Camac street be
tween Locust and Spruce streets one
of the best paved streets in the city
have been prepared by Director Dates =
man, of the Department of Public
Works. During the Victory Loan drive
the street has frequently been desig
mated the greatest little street in the
world"
The Department of Public Works
has just awarded contract for the re =
paving of the street with wood block
and it is now proposed to have the
curbing and sidewalks rcmOdeled on a
plan unusual to this section.
The curbing suggested by the de-
partment is eight-inch' granite with
sidewalks of brick separated by short
half-inch seams of white cement.

Thr fact that tho Luckcnbnch aud
Santa Olivia arc bringing many local
men and arc arriving on Sunday will
probably insure il greater welcome
than that rendered any other transport
that has arrived here. Most of the
river pleasure craft are now overheard
and hundreds of these will make the
down river trip and try to keep pace
with the big troopships as they como
up the Delaware.
The wireless operator at the commit .
tee rooms, Liberty Building, Chestnut
street cast of Broad. is being kept busy
sending messages of welcome to tho men
aboard the two ships. Such messages
have been piling up tor several days,
and when wireless communication with
the ships was finally accomplished the
number of messages was sufficient to
keep force of operators at the Phila
dclphia Navy Yard busy.
Arrival Eagerly Awaited
This morning long line of men
and women eagerly awaited the arrival
of the operator who relays the mes
sages from the Liberty Building tc
League Island. Each carried some mes
sage of love and cheer to be sent tC
soldiers on board the transports. A
nominal charge of ten cents n word is
made by the government to cover OK
penses. Soldiers are allowed to answer
at the same rate. Those sending the
messages here may prepay the answer
if they SO desire.
South Philadelphia is preparing to
give its own regiment greeting com

men are preparing to marshal great
crowds all along the route the trains
bearing the men to Camp Dix will take
through the southern part of the city.
The demonstration given other units
that docked at the Snyder avenue wharf
are expected to fade into insignificancc
when compared to that planned for to
