the choice OF style and use of color:

The hats from which the mother and

JULY SAW HEAT
RECORDS BROKEN
MONTHLY AVERAGE OF TEN
PERATURE WAS HIGHEST IN
PAST SIXTEEN YEARS.

July was the hottest month that the
county has experienced for sixteen
years, according to figures which
have been furnished by f. L. Delavan,
local weather observer, the average
temperature for the month being 70
degrees against IS degrees for an
average for the next hottest July of
the sixteen years.
During nine Of the sixteen years
the monthly average for July was less
than 20 degrees, which gives a good
indication Of the excessive heat that
was enjoyed last month.
Only once during the entire sixteen
years has the highest temperature for
single day in July exceeded the hot
test Of the July days this year. This
was in 1916 when the temperature
went to 102 degrees. This year the
high mark was one degree less.
The low point of the July tempera-
ture this year was higher than the
low point of any July during the past
sixteen years except one by at least
three degrees.
The monthly average shows July,
1921, to have been the hottest July of
the sixteen years. The nearest APP
proach to the monthly average of July
1921, was in 1916, when the monthly
average was 75 degr es.
The total number of inches of rain
fall was probably close to the average
for July. In 1916 only sc inches fell
during the month, this being the low
point for the sixteen years. The great
est amount for the month during the
sixteen years was in 1912 when Cos
inches Of rain fell in July. The usual
amount Of rainfall in July has beer
between two and three inches.

PAVING PROGRAM
To BE SHORTE:NE
RESIDENTS OBJECT TO PAVING
THIS YEAR ON SOME AVE
NUES AND STREETS.

BY resolution Tuesday evening the
city commission expressed It's deter
mination to pave Pine avenue, Wood
worth avenue, Prospect avenue, Park
avenue, Elwell street, two blocks on
West End street, and two blocks on
Downie street.
The probabilities are, however, that
only the paving on Woodwork avenue
and Downie street will be laid this
year, the balance being laid over un-
til some later date.
When the hearings Of the objections
to the paving on the various streets
was held Tuesday evening by the city
commission objections TO construction
of the proposed pavement on Pine
avenue, Elwel street, Park avenue
and Prospect avenue were submitted.
The petitions were not all worded
the same but i'm substance all Of them
asked that the paving on the respect
i've streets and avenues be held up
this year because of the financial and
business depression. Some Of those
present said that some Of the people
on these streets would find it hard to
pay their regular tax this year with
out having any tax added for the
pavement.
As the petitions against the paving
this year on the various streets had
seemingly majority Of the residents
signatures on them, it is expected that
the commission will not call the board
of special assessors together to pre-
pare the special assessment rolls on
those streets and avenues. In fact the
residents Of these streets were given
to understand by the commission that
the paving would not be laid until
conditions were better.
One surprising feature Of the hear
ing was the fact that residents of
Woodwork, north from Superior
asked that the entire block be paved
fifty feet wide instead of thirty from
the alley, north. 1t is regarded as
more than probable that this will be
done in view of the fact that it will
make the street look much better il
the future and possibly serve at some
future time as means Of avoiding
the congestion that is now exper
fenced on State street from the mar
rover paving.
No objectors to the paving OF
Woodwork avenue, Downie street ol
West End street appeared at tn,
hearing, and as a result the city com
mission is now planning on paving a
least Woodwork avenue, north from
Superior street, and Downie stree
| from State street TO Park avenue.

City Widens
q Bad Corner

The intersection Of East Superior
street, Michigan avenue and Euclid
avenue is being wdened by the city
with view Of lessening as much rs
possible the danger that is constantly
present at a bad street intersection.
The turns on the narrow pavement
from the other streets have been such
that i'm view Of the heavy traffic pass
ing that point considerable care must
BE- exercised by drivers, especially at
certain periods Of the day.
The city officials realizing the
danger that the corners offered to
traffic, cut back and made wider the
approach TO Euclid avenue on Super
ior street, going to the east The
sharp corner between Michigan ave
nue. and Superior is also being cut
back considerably
The change promises to meet with
hearty favor from automobilists and
others who are forced to constantly
use those streets, as it does away to
a great extent Of any possible danger
there, except that it may be from
careless driving.
