Was To Have Begun a Week Ago.

the Cause.

The work of paving Main and Lee
streets in the business section of the
city, which was to have been begun
April 5th by the contractors, the
Pittman Construction Co., of Allan

difficulty in transportation of ma

caused by incessant rains and the ex-
cavations for the waterworks i'm
provements. 1t is expected that work
will be begun in the next few days

the enforced delay and the incon-

made some portions of the streets al
most impossible, and there will be
general rejoicing when the work is
actually under way.
