If they had started running-the police

To 3 Weddings

Which is more important,
three weddings or Il cake? ASK
Dorothy Keeler.
The fact that Saturday, Col
umbuS day, was legal holiday
and was observed as such in
the county court house meant
nothing in the lives of four
young couples who came over
from California that day to be
married.
One couple transported Mrs.

the clerks office that day in
order that their long trip be
not in vain.
Another couple swamped in
before the first license was made
out.
And that wasn't all. A third
couple arrived about that time,
and after securing their license
took Mrs. Kceler to her home.
She arrived just in time to see
her cake being removed from

New Ornamental
Lights May Be
Done in Month
Conduit Will Be Completed
on Fremont from Fifth to
First by Saturday, Hope
Of Superintendent Barnes.

Excessive battling against roots IS
the only thing that might prevent
having conduits for the city'S new
ornamental street lighting system in
place on Fremont from Fifth street
to First, on both sides. in addition to
Fifth street by Saturday. This is
the opinion expressed yesterday by
e. M. Barnes, field superintendent
for John r. Davis Co.. which
was awarded the contract for the
work
1t is expected but thirty Or forty
days will be required for the entire
job, instead of the ninety days al
lowed in the contract, according TO
Barnes.
Ten men are nov at work on the
Job. having virtually finished laying
Of conduits on Fifth and having
brought the Fremont street part OF
the Job we'll along toward Fourth
street.
Pipes Are Driven
Conduit pipes are laid in bitches
just inside the curbs, and where
there is no parking strip they ar
forced through under the pavement
by means Of & leverage contriyance.
In the ditch which comes up to
the paving strip under which the
pipe is to be forced is placed !
horizontal metal track With gear
ing" grooves INTO these grooves the
'1ever's end Its, holding while the
lever is worked, a notch at a time,
with a ratchet principle, and thus
the pipe is slowly driven until it
comes out at the other side Of the
paved strip.
This operation saves tearing UP
the pavement for the installation.
I'VE are avoiding injury to tree
roots as much as possible said Mi
Barnes. Sometimes they make it
difficult, and sometimes there's no
alternative but to cut them, but We
are protecting them 2S much as IS
possible
Arch to Remain
The Welcome arch will not nave
to be removed to make way for the
two ornamental lights which will be
placed at the corner of Fremont
and Main, the field superintendent
stated. They will DC placed q
short distance beyond the arch sup
ports from the corner, because, he
explained. when lights are in
stalled, as they are likely to be az
some future date, on the other side
of Main, they will serve the corner
adequately.
The two lights in the middle Of
he Main-Fir5t blocl, OF Fremont
will be placed one OF each side Of
he alley, staggered IN order that
The two sides of the alley may be
served equally with light The
standard on the north side will be
west of the alley, and the one on
the south side Of Fremont will be
cast Of the court.
Most of the corner standards will
be set well back, as protection
against wild driving, according to
Barnes.
