Steam Roller

THE English newspapers
recently made much of
the fact that a steam roller
was a mourner at the fu.
neral of Thomas Elston of
Ottershaw-but none of his
neighbors was greatly sur
priSed at the sight of the
numbering machine in the
funeral procession.
For 38 years Mr.. ElSton
had driven the steam roller
and kept the ponderous ma.
chine in repair. The brass
on it was always bright and
it's engine was the pride of
the man who knew its small
lest cog and cam.
1t was Elston's dying wish
that the roller which he had
operated for most of his
working life should follow
his body to the cemetery
right behind the car carry.

They saw TO it that his
last request was fulfilled.

City Plans Two
Canal Bridges

Plans for the opening of Gar
field street from the canal south
to the city limits were given
boost Tuesday night when Supt.
E. S. Black appeared before the
city council with a proposed plan
for a bridge connection across
the schools new property in that
section.
The sketch submitted showed a
bridge across the canal, connect
ing Fruitland street, diagonally
across to Garfield. This area is
to be paved by the school district
as well as a large area to the rear
of the new building to be used
as a playfield.
Discussion with the council
with concessions from both sides
indicated the building of another
one-way bridge, primarily to ac-
commodate the school buses
This additional bridge would take
the school traffic out of danger
and make for a more convenient
bus loading at the school house
Because water is to be turned
into the canal about the 18th
the city ordered the piers for the
two bridges to be poured at once
