WORKMEN RUSHING
 PAVING PROJECT
Excavate in Exchange e Place, Widen Bank St.
 Sidewalk Yesterday

Rapid strides toward the cof11ple- ton of the Exchange Place and Willow street paving projects were taken over the weekend. Workers disregarded the Sabbath and worked right through, as a portion of con- certed drive to finish up the project in record time.
 Pedestrians who trod the torn up, old sidewalk on the west side of Bank street from Center to Harrison avenue on Saturday, were more than surprised this morning to be con- fronted with @ brand new walk, with all lights, sewers, and other stand ards correctly in place. The task of laying the sidewalk was completed yesterday. It is several inches f1ar- rover, thereby making the road that much wider.
 With the start yesterday of the paving of the Bank street road from Harrison avenue to Center street, traffic that usually passed from Bank street to. Exchange place was rerouted. Busses were forced to use Grand street, and then proceed up South Main street and through the center. Other vehicles were passed over Center street, to Leavenworth, and then on West Main street thruogh the center.
 Top dressing for North Main street will probably be paved, and ready for travel early this week.
 Workmen also placed pipes On both sides of Willow street, yester- day ready for use at the earliest moment.

 OLD LEVIATHAN

Washington, Aug. 2-(UP)-The Maritime Commission today sought bids for construction of a new, 34,- 000-ton passenger liner to replace the old Leviathan which the United States Lines laid up in 1895.
