 Railroad Park Well Kept
 The city park located between the station and Prospect street presents pretty sight for strangers visiting the city and much credit is tue Station Baggagemaster Mea- lows, who was engaged by the city o look after it. The flower beds ire well arranged and the numerous >inds of bushes are kept well trimmed.
 All Bristol needs now to improve he appearance of this particular part of the city is new railroad tation but the prospects of securing he railroad company's sanction for | new structure are not very bright. Main Street Widening Progresses
 The work of widening Main street between Malone court and North ,lain street is rapidly progressing. he iron electric light posts having ,ecn moved back the required two eet and pavement laid from Lough- in's store to the corner of Main md North Main streets.
 It is believed now that the curb 'n the west side of the street could lave been moved back three feet llSIedu Ol lNOi NLlIlout lllihtllS llit I idewalk too narrow. Had this ,een done it would have enabled the ars to pass easily on the west side f the street even at times when rolleys were passing in the center f the street.
