FIRST BLOCK PAVING
FINISHED SUNDAY

Contractors Gibbons & Reed fin
ished the first block of the street paw
ing Sunday evening. The block be-
tween the Brennan & DAWN corner,
and the Montpelier Coal & Lumber
company will go down I'm history as
the first solid block OF paving be-
tween Pocatello and Rawlins on the
Oregon Short Line. ON sooner had
the big steam roller left the street
than the pavement was ready for use,
and 1t took the kiddies no longer to
get on IL with their roller skates and
bicycles than It did for the steam
roller to move off.
There is no delay in using the bit
ulithie typo of pavement. A street
finished one night can be used foi
traffic the following morning. In
this particular case the kiddies OF the
city sure celebrated the occasion, for
there we're scores OF them on the
block. and they were enjoying riding
on the pavement to their fullest ex-
tent.
The work is progressing very fay-
orably and with every branch Of the
contractors equipment working full
blast, there is every reason to believe
that they will be able to finish the
job this fall. The first hot material
was poured on the Brennan & Davis
corner last Saturday at approximate
ly 11.45 a. m.

INSTALL MODERN
LIGHTING SYSTEM

1t is not generally known, but a
fact nevertheless, that within few
weeks Main street In Montpelier will
look as metropolitan as any business
thoroughfare in the ten thousand
class in the intermountain country.
The final touch to add this dignity to
the city's appearance will be a mod
ern street lighting system, the ma
teriaI for which has all been ordered
and part of 1t now received in the
city. ----'--------
The lighting system will extend
from the Short Line to Eighth street
and will be composed of 20 steel
standards, set in stagger line, so that
NO two lights will be opposite each
other, and thereby giving the maxi
mum light. This is the arrangement
followed out in all cities.
The standards chosen by the Of
flciais are the same design as those
used in Liberty Park in Salt Lake.
1t is a neat steel pole, and will stand
fourteen feet above the street.
The local lighting system was de-
signed by engineers or the Generai
Electric company and the Utah Pow
er & Light company, and 1t was thru
the cooperation of the latter COM
pany that it was possible to install
such a system this year. The i'm
provement will be good one, and an
asset to the city.
Installation of the lighting system
this fall will eliminate heavy expense
in the future, inasmuch as all the
ground work is being installed un-
der the paving across the intersec-
tions. When the strip of sidewalk
between the present walk and the
curb is cemented, the lighting cables
will be in place. and the expensive
task of drilling through the cement
and replacing 1t will also be saved by
installing the system now.
This is commendable foresight or
the part of the city officials, mas
much as 1t would have been but 6
matter OF year or two before sucf
a lighting system would have beer
demanded by the citizens.

WILL HAVE Paw
ING,CELEBRATION

The business men of Montpelier
are becoming interested In a rousing
celebration commemorating the ad-
vent of paved streets In the city.
While the job is not completed yet,
it is thought wise by many that such
a celebration should be held at an
early date to insure good weather for
tho occasion. ....--s---.-
The paving of main street and
some of the side streets will be COM
pleted to Eighth street before Sat
urday, October 8, and 1t is believed
that the 8th would be the most oppor-
tune time to celebrate. No defi-
mite action has been taken in the
movement, but the matter will be re-
ferred to the board OF governors OF
the Chamber of Commerce, and the
nature of the celebration will be de-
termined. Many are of the opinion
that a real old-fashioned barbecue
would be the most appropriate
Frank Sunderland OF the Royal Bak-
cry informs us that he will be ct the
service of the committees in prepar-
ing the beef for the feed.
Now is the time for all good eiti-
zens to throw their hats into the ring
and get behind a regular project. A
rousing celebration will act as a fine
tonic after the strenuous times ex-
perienced in putting over the paving
program. Everybody to the wheel.
