DELAY WORK ON EIGHTH AVE.

Under Most Favorable Circumstances
It Cannot Be Done Before 1924.
There is no chance. even under the
most favorable circumstances, to COM
mence work on the widening of West
Eighth avenue to constitute a boule-
ward, before 1924, it was agreed in in
formal discussion of the project
among the city commissioners this
morning.
No report has as yet been received
from the appraisers, George L. Tuer,
George w. Adamson and w. T. Daw-
son, who were appointed to-assess the
benefits and damages resulting from
the widening of the avenue. The ap-
praisers were appointed on January
81 of this year, more than six months
ago.
They were to assess the value of
the land which it is proposed to take
over by the city in the widening pro-
cess, and the benefits and damages
to property resulting from the project.
1t was fntimated at the city hall
today that the report of the apprais-
ers might be expected in the near fu-
ture, but it was also pointed out that
no matter if the report were in at the
present time, the assessments cannot
be placed on the 1929 tax rolls, but
must now go on the 1928 rolls, and
that work cannot start on the project
before 1924.

Bulgaria, it may be said conserva-
tive;y, is making a really remarkable
recovery from the effects of the war.
The Bulgarian population today has
food, clothing, good health, shelter,
money and the other elements of ma
terial contentment, and fer this the
principal reason is the labor of the
masses, their sobriety, energy and
thrift, and their satisfaction with liv-
ing conditions. The work of the vol
unteer labor army is another cause.

the young German of today who con-

Tradition has long decreed that the
young man in Germany is expected to
provide a house for his bride-to-be
before marriage. The latter, for her
part, should approach the altar with
dowry sufficient to furnish her new
home with everything from broom to
bedstead. Silverware and special COM
forts for the household ordinarily are
contributed by relatives or by guests
attending the wedding ceremony.
However, there is little prospect of
a German girl in the middle or lower
classes living up to this custom to-
day Depending on earnings of a few
hundred marks a week, she finds little
to save up for her dowry. On the
