Start Work on East
Side Main Street

Work has been started on the east
side of Main street, tearing up the
; cobblestones and putting the bottom

| Workmen did fast job Tuesday
digging up and taking away the old
stones, clearing the street from Tenn
pie to Appleton. Yesterday the
street was being filled in with gravel
and rolled down by the steam roller.
This city is a rather precarious vi
cinity for foreign motorists who get
! many thrills and surprises at the
holes, sharp corners and closed
streets which they meet in passing
through. At night the places under
construction are boarded up and
numerous red lanterns are seen
everywhere. One place which even
the native autoists are a bit back
ward in becoming accustomed to, is
the turn out in Castonguay square.
If one should stand on the corner OF
Main and Common streets around z
o'clock at night he would get several
sensations as cars dash in and out or
this narrow pathway. Cars meet
and all but collide, brakes Shrek out
in wild, agonizing calls, protesting the
suddenness Of their appliance and
people hold themselves in tension for
fear of collision but SO far no acci-
dents have been reported. Great
credit Is due those who have charge
