SATURDAY, PLAN
Second Avenue NOrth's I'M
provement Progressing
Satisfactorily.

If fair weather continues, compile.
ton of the Second avenue north paving
project by the end of the week is d
certainty, according to City Engineer
VI. T.. Morris. During the last few days
construction has progressed at a rate
satisfactory to the city engineers
office and the contractors, S. Birch
& Sons.
Laying Of the asphalt surface has
been under way for several days and
virtually all Of the district, which ex-
tends from Nineteenth to Twenty
sixth street. has been covered with the
crushed stone base.
Because of the comparatively short
time required by asphalt to get to the
hardness necessary to withstand traf-
fic. the work on Second avenue north
is only slightly interfering with travel.
The project is being completed a block
at a time to prevent the tying up of
traffic.

The number of miles of road that
this will construct is as vet unknown

to estimate with any degree
of accuracy the mileage that the money
will build without an idea Of
