After you've been planning for the last yenr more
to buy little house and move out into the less built up
parts of town and you and your wife have decided that
this spring is the time to make the break
But somehow after looking around for the sort of
house you want and inquirng about the prices of the
ones that for SALE you begin TO think that maybe
this spring ISN'T the best time TO move, after all
Because you can't seem to locate anything at all
like what you want ut price that family
sembes the you'd figured on paying, and you and
your wife about ready to settle down for another
year right where you are
And then day you run across the list of houses
for sale in the Every Evenings Real Estate columns
which you discover contains descriptions Of number
Of homes the suburbs that sound mighty interesting
And next day you look them up and find that one
is exactly the place you've been hoping for nndbetter
sthat the price and terms hit you just right and you
sign the papers and get ready to move in
That's What You Call Servicc

STREET IMPROVEMENT
 IS PRACTICALLY COMPLETED

Work of laying the new macadaqn roadbeds on Mechanic and Asylum streets on the West Side has now been practical ly completed. Mechanic street has been open to traffic for some time and Asylum street was opened on Thursday evening. Today the final touches will be put on Asylum street. beginning at the corner of Pearl and Asylum strets and ending at the Junction of Asylum and Newton streets The first coating of tar filling was put on several days ago but lack of fine stone delayed the final work, this to be done today.
 Both streets are now as good as any in the city and will be greatly appreciat- ed by the people of that section of the city, who for years have put up with streets that tn the winter time Edvaled any country road for nuts and mudholes.
 Work on the short stretch of Maple street from West Main to Asylum street is under way and should be finished be- fore many days.
 West Main street from High street to the junction of Ann and West Main is in mighty poor condition at present. recent rains having caused wash outs at the junction with Fadr1nount street, while deep holes make driving anything but a pleasure over the rest of the street. It 1. said that this section cannot be repaired before the fa1r, but it seems evident thai temporary repairs would be beneficial il the street is to be left in any kind oi shape after the heavy trafic that is sure to go over the street during the fair.
