DOUGLAS NEVIS
DOUGLAS PUBLIC WORKSPR0J.ECTS ST0PPED,W WINTER

Upon presentation by Contractors Wright and Stock Company. of the Impractical continuance of work on the water and sewer systems for Douglas during the remainder of this winter, the Douglas City Coun- cil at a special meeting last night agreed to a suspension of the work until Spring.
 l During the past week frozen ground has prevented further digging of the trenches for the sewer and water mains. The uncertainties of wea- ther extremes likely to continue for the next three or four months would make it very difficult to do good work, MT. Stock said. The Council was given to understand further that MT. Gridley, government authority over P. w. A. work in Alaska, was in accord with the proposed postpon- ment.
 1 Clear Front Street
 The contracting company agreed to clear Front Street of the excavations in & such way that traffic there will not be interrupted on account of the unfinished work.
 A bill for materials on hand and labor expenditures to date, total s9119 and was presented to the Council by MT. Stock. Unable to pay such an amount until the money from the bond issue arrived from Washington. a counter offer from the Council to pay Wright & Stock in- terest on the indebtedness until the money arrives to reimburse them, was accepted.
 I Insurance Advices
 Information recently sought from the underwriters of insurance re- garding the readjustment of rates Douglas would be favored with upon installation of the new water system, and the effect of permitting the placing of four inch hydrants on three inch mains proposed on Front Street, was received in the following telegram: Douglas entitled to re- duction for new sys e m provided Fire Department satisfactory. Lower rate will apply on dwellings within 500 feet from hydrants on four-inch or larger main. Four r-inch dead ends should not exceed 800 feet. Three inch mains equivalent to no mains" Beers Has Way Out
 City Engineer Beers presented to the Council a way out of the diffi- culties by proposing to extend d four-inch man on D Street from Fourth to Front Street, connecting with the six-inch main on Third Street, with hook-up at Second and D and Fourth and F Streets. This arrangement will eliminate the de- ficiencies, also for dwellings not within 500 feet of the four inch main or larger than those within the 500 foot radius, he said. l Up To Riedi | OOuilClliIldIl 0OC IsiSul Wuo iinikASA by Mayor A. E. Goetz to have com- plete authority in looking after wa- | ter maintenance for the town dur ing this winter When need arises for work on any part of the system it is his job to see that such work is done.
 The third and last reading of City Ordinance No. 73, permitting the bonding of the city, and specifying the means and dates of repayment of the bonds for the water and sewer systems, was held and the ordinance declared in effect.
 The construction of bumper fence or railing at the foot of Mob Hill for safety of car traffic in that sec- tion, was favored and repairs to the | Hume near there, and blankets for | the jail were ordered.

CALVERT ST.
SPAN NEARS
COMPLETION

Remember the first few days
after the Calvert Street Bridge was
moved? There were many fearful
hearts as motorists and street car
passengers crossed the bridge.
Now within two months, the
old bridge will be as antiquated as
last summers straw hat, and the
new Calvert Street Bridge, re-
splendent in all its white beauty,
with it's four sculptures, will be
ready.
For the first time. the details
of these sculptures have been
made public.
Symbolizing all modes Of travel,
the four carvings will decorate
this bridge which has been so long
in controversy and which will be
ready the middle Of November,
after one and half years Of con-
Struction work.
The carvings, the work Of Leon
Hermant, sculptor, represent rail,
maritime, air and highway travel.
The bridge will be Of three-arch
masonry construction. For many
months prior to the acceptance
of the plans there was considera-
BILE controversy over the type OF
bridge to be constructed, some OIL
cials holding out for the multiple
arch masonry, which was finally
adopted, and others seeking to
build a single span steel bridge.

CLERGY URGES
N0TET0I7ALY

In a strongly worded letter,
the Washington clergy commit
tee against war and political cor
ruption has urged President
Roosevelt to send a communica-
ton to Italy reminding that ma
tion of it's Christian response
bility and begging her to settle
the Ethiopian controversy by
"Christ's method"
Pointing out that the United
States is a Christian nation, "and
Italy will not deny that she is
Christian nation" and that
Christ urged peaceful methods
of solving disputes, the letter
says:
'We beg you, either person
ally or through the Depart
ment of State, to send direct
communication to Italy. as in
the message recently sent to
Russia, thus Obeying ChriSt'S
command in settling difficult
ties among brethren.
"If such action is impossible,
it logically follows for you to
adopt the suggestion of Sena-
tor Pope, as we are one Of the
founders Of the Pact of Paris,
to call a conference Of the
signatories to outlaw war-Or
that you call a special session
Of Congress at an early date
to take such peaceable action
as will make it evident to the
whole world that the United
States is a good neighbor to
Ethiopia and will not Shirk
her responsibility, as did the
priest and Levite in the parable
Of Jesus"
