OF labor during the war and their in
ability TO procure the type OF rails
needed for the West Fourth street
tracks. the matter was allowed TO rest.
The company, so far as l can see. Is
now able to procure the rails, and 10 is
strictly up TO them to do the work.
"The paving of West Fourth street
has nothing to do with the delay. Only
one square on Fourth street is planned
for paving under the present appropria--
tion, that between Jefferson and WASH

time to work in conjunction with the
traction company so that their work
may not be delayed. That section or
