from the paving is an extension along
the Highland Park car line from Cot
ton avenue and Erie street TO Louis
vile street This will be a great I'M
provement for the Highland Park dis
trict and should Increase the value
OF property in that addition very ma
terially. Il viii allow a continuous
paved road from that locality straight
IN to the heart OF the city.
West Main street paving is another
important matter coming up for paw
ing in the future. It viii afford a
shorter direct connection from the
center OF the city 10 the upper valley
road over the viaduct and eliminate
travelling over the present paved
streets TO reach the upper valley.
Such main roads Of travel as these
should always be paved wherever
possible for they not only benefit the
property adjoining them, but serve
the public in general as we'll
Make Streets 100 Percent.
The future plan Of resureaciuE Ma
coffin avenue and Wyoming street
should meet the approval OF all It
IS the desire Of the present admins
tratiOn 10 make those streets 100 per-
on those streets.
A number of streets in the city
have been paved, with the idea in
view OF carrying storm water in time
Of flood rains These streets are
Cebada, Newman, Circle, Noble and
Stevens. The crown OF such streets
is built to an inverted form, allowing
the water 10 flow down the middle
Of the street instead OF along the
gutter by the curb. The dip in the
cross section Of such streets increases
very greatly the carrying capacity
for water and allows a much quicker
runoff II also affords very great
protection FOR property along such
streets against damaging floods.
Sewer Construction
In the last two years the city has
constructed 1886 lineal feet Of sewer
or about 10-2 miles.
This mileage includes sewer lateral 4
built in every part Of the city but the /
district most extensively improved I
was Government Hill
Approximately two and one-half |
miles Of this length composes what Is
main" This line extends from the
,ity sewage and disposal plant north
through the heart Of Government Hiu I
addition 70 Leeds street. where It in
ersects the sewer main carrying all
he Fort Bliss sewage. Since this
main has been built, iaterais have
1een extended to connect practically
III the Government Hill addition
The future plan is TO extend this
inc north along Dyer street to Nc
Aluley avenue Lnen with laLefa4 eN-
tension, connect all the improved i
property in GrandvieW recently taken
INTO the city. That part OF Austin
Terrace recently taken into the city
vas already severed and the city ac-
Iuires that part Of the system taken
nto the city limits.
The future plan OF building a storm

.lready available Is a fine movement

Chosen carefully to present him to his admirers in a new gliise, there seems little doubt that he will surprise and please them In the staEy. of scion of wealth who duarreIs with his father and starts out to see the world. It is not from the window of parlor car that Dick Latham does this. but from the blind baggage" of freight train m company with a crowd of hoboes.
 In a. far western town his real ad ventures begin. however, the first of which is when t11e office of sheriff is thrust upon him by a schemirg poii- uc1an who plans 10 use Dick as "a tool to mask his own neearfous dninps The actions of the tenderfoot sheriff constitute the most amusing moments S Of Go West.

 But Dick Is as true 10 himself as he is to the responsibilities of his new job and when the time comes he re- fuses to heed the warning sent him bv one of the men associated with his supposed patron. Instead Dick he comes real reformer- cleaning up tha town. seeing to it tlHat certain girl. whom he wins for his own. is not done out of her property -t

Instead, Miss Murray is cast in a role that calls. for genuine artistry in the portrayal of deeper emotions. In this newest Universal production, directed by her husband; Robert z. Leonard. this popular star appears as Arathea Manning, whose father Is snatched by death from the midst of his family, thereby compelling the daughter to support herself and her mother.
