PAVING
WORK PUSHED
Expect State Street Resur-
facing VIII be Completed
Today

By tonight it is expected that the
resurfacing of State street from
Market to Gordon streets will be
complete and according to City En-
gineer Louis p. Booz, Jr., tomorrow
work will be started on the repairing
of Market and Sheridan streets. The
resurfacing of State street has been
done with two inches of asphalt and
the city engineer declares it is now
in excellent condition.
For some time past Sheridan
street, which is the approach to the
state bridge, has been in a Seplora-
bic condition. Efforts have been
made by the city to obtain state aid
in the repairing of this thoroughfare
but when it was found impossible to
obtain this aid, the street depart
ment then undertook to make re-
pairs SO the street would be in pass
able condition.
Asphalt will be placed in the many
holes on Sheridan street and a sheet
ing of the stuff spread upon the sur
face of the street in order to bring
it up to grade. With the repairs
contemplated on this thoroughfare,
It is believed that it will stand up
under the heavy traffic to and from
the shore resorts for the balance of
the season.
Market street will also be repaired
with asphalt, the holes being filed
up and sheet asphalt laid wherever
necessary to bring the street up to
grade. The most deplorable condi-
tion of this thoroughfare is found
within a few blocks of the bridge
approach.

A reply by the allies in common,

require probably several weeks of ne

ity of their uniting in an answer un-
til they themselves come to an ar
The only united action by the
Allies now feasible in the view of
France, it was said. would be a COM
mon notice to Germany that she
must cease her passive resistance to
the execution of the treaty of Ner-
sailles. Afterward the Allies would
have the leisure to go all over the
problem if they We're disposed to do
so, but France will insist that If the

on the basis of the French conditions
as set Forth at the Paris conference
in January.
This means, it is explained, that
France at present is still unwilling
