re-lald 1t is possible also that a
coat of cement over the top would
be advisa bic.
That portion of the pavement in
Main avenue and Depot square is
also very little displaced We would
think that the same treatment as at
the lower end of Water street
would be all that would be neces-
sary.

The total area to he surfaced,
would not be over 5000 square yards.
This does not include the right Of

ed that this corporation will be will

To take up the present blocks. re-
cut and redress them. doing the
necessary eXcavating to a depth Of
the thickness Of the paving, laying
recut blocks on a sand cushion and
grouting the blocks in place, would
cost somewhere near twenty to
twenty five thousand dollars. If
any other form of paving were used
the expense would be much greater
as we have an actual asset in the
blocks now in the street. We are
informed that we have blocks to do
the job
From so many sources as we are
able to obtain information, we are
led to believe that the Water street
sewer is not in bad shape, in fact. that
where it has been uncovered, it has
been found to be in very good condi-
ton. We do not believe the expense
connected with the repair OF the sew
err would be large.
Under the provisions of the State
aid highway law, it is possible for a
city or town to make what is known
as a five year in one appropriation,
and then secure from the state for
use in one year, what would naturally
be used in five years. Upon the ba-
sis of the States valuation for Car
diner. (S4332, 4S0), the city would ap-
propriatc $3.50, and the State would
add to this .sS,796, making Joint
fund of $16,126. We would thus have
i! that sum to start with. The actual
money need not be available until
next spring. After the city has made
this appropriation. the state highway
department should he notified of the
fact, and all the legal requirements
necessary to get the quota should be
complied with. This should be done
at once if YOU approve of the idea.
for the State appropriation is limited
and those who apply early will doubt
less be provided for, andJin order of
their application.
We would respectfully recommend
that the city make this approximation
and that the balance necessary to do
the work be raised from the public
utilities, by private subscription and
through the Board of Trade, and
would suggest that the city govern
ment act. in the premises with a.
committee to be selected from the
Board of Trade to have the whole
proposition properly financed so that
the contract could be let for compile
ton in the spring.
An order was introduced and re-
ceived passage. pending publication,
appropriating the sum of $3.50 for
the above purpose.

cote style. In season of dignifed
suits the last stands at the head of its
class.
In the handsome suit pictured the
figure is vaguely outlined and the coat
ripples at the back below the waist
line. 1t is uneven in length and split
up at each side. Fur bands form the
cuffs and emphasize the flare and
ripple in the back, and fur provides a
collar over the long revers. En-
broidery in striking pattern assumes
the responsibility of finishing the trim
front.
Since fashion has decreed longer
skirts, without saying just how much
longer they shall be, the length of this
model is worth noting. 1t is long
enougllt, longer than the average by
an inch or SO. hut in keeping with
the style, which is intended for
matrons.
