City officials announced today tha
bids for the construction OF the Sew
entteenth street paving viii be aske,
for this week and will be opened
July 6.
The necessary advertising for tn,
bids was being prepared yesterda,
afternoon and will be ready for pub

same time. arrangements were be
ing made TO ask for bids for tire con
Btruction Of the two cantileyer type
reinforced concrete bridges over Line
creek on Fourth and Sixth streets
Plans for these two structures were
approved by the city council last
week.
Laying OF the storm sewer on Sew
enteenth street is nearing complet
ion and will De finished before work
is started on the paving.
The completion OF the paving pro-
ject will give the city hard surfaced
road to the Oklahoma College for
Women. The project also includes
the extension of the paving on Min
nesota avenue from Fifteenth to
Seventeenth streets.
The city's part of the expense of
paving the main thoroughfare to the
Oklahoma College for Women will be
taken from the money derived from
the sale of the 100000 park bonds
voted nearly two years ago.
Work on the construction of the
two new bridges over Line creek will
be started soon after the contract
is awarded, according to Mayor Coff-
man. The reinforced concrete
bridges will replace the wooden
structures which have been in use
for many years.
To Re-FIoor viaduct
City officials today announced that
the viaduct over the Rock Island
right-of-way on Choctaw avenue will
be re-floored Immediately after July
/, the beginning of the next fiscal
year. Money for this Improvement
will not be available until after the
budget for the year is approved. A
provision to finance the re-flooring
of the structure will be made In the
budget, Mayor Coffman announced.
The floor of the viaduct is now In
a very poor condition and is source
of much complaint to the city street
department.
Whether the re-flooring should be
financed by the city or the Rock Is
land railway company is now dis
puted question. This question will
be decided with a test case soon to
be instituted in the federal court, ac-
cording to Harry Hammerly, city at
torney.
Before the viaduct was constructed
by the Rock Island, the city council
passed an ordinance whereby the city
assumed the responsibility of the up
keep of the structure. This Ordin
ance was passed several years ago.
The city now contends that this
ordinance is not valid and the test
case soon to be instituted in the fed
eral court will test the validity of
the ordinance.
If the court decides the issue in
favor of thecity, the Rock Island
will reimburse the city for the ex-
pense of re-flooring the viaduct. BonG
assuring the payment Of this money
has been executed pending the out
come of the trial.

NEW CIVILIZATION
Lloyd George Says World is Awaken Ing to Fact That Pact of Non-Ag- grcssion Is Essential For Life.

l London, May Is (Ry Associated Press)-Premier Lloyd George in q message given to the Genoa correspon' dent of the Yorkshire Evening News says:
 We have reached new phase in western civilization, There have been wars of religion and dynastic wars there have been wars to secure richer supplies of raw materials with which to nourish trade and commerce The new phase is the economic interde- pendence of Europe and the whole world. No modern nation can exist by itself. 1t is dependent upon other nations, whether neighboring or re- mote.
 "A pact Of non aggression is funda- mental to economic reconstruction. Every nation in Europe must recog- nize the sanctity of its neighbor's s boundaries. Frontiers will then be- come open doors of commerce, not national barriers. Peace is the first essential"
 The premier expressed deep inter est in the attention given to-fhe pro- ceedings at Genoa by the British peo- pie especially the factory workers in the Yorkshire and other industrial districts.

Alter.Pinchot GubernatOrial Fight
 Center of Attraction

Philadelphia, May lh. Final ap- peals to the republican voters ot Pennsylvania were made today by the opposing candidates for nomination at the statewide primary election to- morrow, All political parties of the state will select candidates to be voted for in November but the republicans were only ones with contests on their hands.
 Candidates to be named include two United States senators, governor, lieut.. -goNerTor, secretary of internal affairs and members of congress and the state legislature
 The most interesting fight is that
 tween Attorney Gen. George F. AL ter and Clifford Pinehot, former state forestry commissioner for the repuh- lican guhernatofial nomination. Both have conducted spirited campaigns and both claim they will win by wide margins. Pinchot's campaign manag- CTS predict that he will carry the state by plurality of 150,000, while those Of his opponent claim that Alter will have plurality of at least 2n0,- GOO and possibly 250,ooo.
 Has Sprouts Support
 Alter has the support of Governor Sproul, the city organizations of Pitts burgh and Philadelphia and many of the regular republican county leaders while Pinchot is supported by leaders identified with the progressive party i'll 1912 and 1914 and some regular republican county leaders. The is sues of the campaign have been along state lines. Both candidates are pledged to enforce the prohibition laws.
 Another contest in the republican ranks is that for the nomination of one of the two United States senators. Senator George Wharton Pepper. of Philadelphia is opposed by Congress man at large William J. Burke, of AL leghany county for the unexpired term of the late Senator Penrose, running to March. 1927. Pepper, who was appointed by Governor SprouI, to succeed Penrose, until his successor was elected has the support of the or ganization leaders while Burke claims, the support of organized labor and of many members of the American Le zion.
