PAVING AWARDED
BY Commission

City commissioners awarded the
paving contract for Central avenue
from High street to Mulberry street
to the New Mexico Construction
company which bid considerably
lower for the work than the ].
Fred Roberts Construction COM
pany of Denver, the only other
bidder for the work.
The construction will be two
inch bitulithic surface on a five
irch concrete base. The contract
price is $3,42 square yard. which
is considerably lower than The fig
ures received some time ago when
plans were being made for the
work, The j. Fred Roberts COM
pany did not bid for this particular
type of work, but their bid for the
same class Of work was $4.06 a
square yard.
According to the contract the
work will start Monday morning
and will be finished within thirty
working days Provision was made
in the contract for the City Elec-
trio company to construct its own
paving between the car tracks.
This will be done by the Western
Mortgage company as subcontract-
ors from the New Mexico Con-
struction company, which is re-
sponsible for the result.
1t is possible that the electric
n r1Iy'c <tnfly no
pleted before freezing weather and
in this case a provision was made
that it could be completed next
spring. In case of a delay. how
ever. the street will not be left in
such a condition between the car
tracks as to interfere with traffic,
as a temporary gravel filling will
be put in.
Officials of the electric company
stated last night that they believed
they would be able to complete the
work within thirty days after the
main job is finished by the con-
company.

be used by the Western Mortgage
for the street railway
portion of the work. Officials of
the company stated last night that
while this type of paving was not
as expensive as that decided upon
for the main contract, 1t would give
as good results as the paving be-
tween the rails is only used one
twentieth as much as on either side
Of them.

ed, carrying a bonded agreement

CITY To DEMAND
GOOD CROSSING
At CENTRAL AVE

City Manager James N, Gladding
was instructed by the city COM
missioners last night to consult
with City Attorney William A.
Ireleher and to make the proper
demand upon the Santa Fe Railway
company requiring them to put the
Central avenue crossing in passable
condition within 80 days.
The matter was brought to the
attention of the commission by
Fred Fisher, who represented a
large number of residents living
east of the railway tracks. Mr..
Fisher stated that the track cross
ing was in the worst condition 1t
has been in for the past ten years.
Charges were also made that
hundreds of dollars worth of dam
age was ing done to automobiles
every day through having to cross
the uneven board crossing.
An effort has been made for a
number Of years to secure a perm
anent crossing at Central avenue,
but no results have been reached.
1t 1t said that the company has
cement blocks ready to put into the
crossing, but is waiting the result
of court litigation which may affect
the matter. 1t was pointed out last
night that this litigation might last
for years and that during that
time Albuquerque would have to
suffer the inconvenience and dam
ger of crossing the bunny planks
now in position, if the railway
company continued to wait the
result of the litigation. The de-
mand will be made of the railway
company this morning.

F RANCE REPORTS
ON PROGRESS Of
REHABILITATION
Good Roadway Is Being
Made in Restoring the
War Ravaged Regions,
According to Survey.

Paris, Oct. 5.-An impressive
picture Of the extent of Frances
achievement In restoring her war;
ravaged regions is afforded by M.
I.oucheur, the minister of liber-
ated regions in a public statement
entitled THE Revival of France"
Official statistics of the destruc-
ton caused by the was and the re-
construction accomplished up to
May /, 1921, the minister de-
clares, show that "the France OF
today is the same as France or
yesterday, and that in peace as In
war she continues to work with
steadfastness, courage and contl-
dence."
M. Loucheur's statement covers
the following SUBJECTS: lnhabl-
tants, municipalities, schools,
houses, land, agriculture, live
stock, roads, factories and rail-
WAYS. After showing that, ,154 1000
Of the 100000 Frenchmen from
19 to SO years of age, modified
during the war, were killed or
wounded, the state presents the
following statistics of civic recon-
struction:
Inhabitants-Deported because
Of war, 2,5O0,72S; returned TO
France, 1,975,79S.
Municipalities - Abandoned,
1885: established, 3,216.
Schools-Before the war, 7,27l;
re-established, $3.50. d,
Houses-Destroye $4,000: re-
built, 1928; repaired. 500,

France took up arms only In
self defense, endeavoring at the
same time to maintain justice and
liberty for the world" said M.
Loucheur. "For nearly five years
her richest provinces have endured
continual martyrdom. And yet by
her own means, from day to day,
the ruins are reviving; houses arise
from the ground, fields are covered
with promising crops. The popu-
lations of the devasted areas be-
lieve that they can rely on the
spirit of solidarity of all those who
have measured the magnitude of
their sacrifice and understood
their unquestionable right to the
fullest reparations. A vast field
of action is open for the demonstra-
ton of human brotherhood. These
people who suffered martyrdom
while the safety of France and the
world was at stake. deserve a
fresh belief in the joy of life. Be-
sides shelter and bread they are en-
titled to peace and happiness"

Caroline Hewins.

1t was not so very many years
ago that children were taboo in
public libraries. 1t was in 1875
that woman who was doing IL
brary work for the sheer work of
1t tthere were then no training
schools for librarians), Mrs. Mi
nerva Saunders of Pawtucket, r.
l., noticed that very often child
rem peered timidly but longingly
into the reading rooms, with much
the same expression as is seen on
their faces as they watch Christ
mas displays in shop windows.
This bothered Mrs. Saunders a
good deal and finally she beckoned
few small people In one day.
Right into the sacred precincts.
She scrubbed their faces and
hands, let them look at several
books. and the next day having,
with her own hands. sawed off
table and chair legs, set half
dozen tots at the former, caution
tioning them not to make any
noise which would disturb their
elders.
And this was the beginning of
children's quarters in public libra
ries. Very soon after this the
American Library association was
formed, training schools were es-
tablished and there was sudden
appreciation of the fact that an
increasing knowledge of books
among the people tended toward
good citizenship.
Among those librarians who
recognized the importance Of spe-
cialized attention to the reading
appetite of growing boys and girls
stands Miss Caroline Hewins ~of
Hartford. 1t was she who compiled
a photography for children before
others had seen the necessity of
such a guide. She has been a Ii
brarian of the Hartford library for
many years and is a specialist on
reading for the young.
