KM TO SURVEY ALL SIMS Of CITY

When it became evident through the action of the board of public works last Saturday, in throwing out all of the street improvement resolutions, that there would be little or no work on the streets this summer. City Engineer Prank Kattman began scouting around for something for the employes of the engineer's office to do during the summer and has decided upon surveying all of the streets within the city limits which have not heretofore been surveyed.

The work probably will be started tomorrow morning when Assistant Engineer George Evelo will take a squad of the men out on North Eighth street north of Collett park. The reason for this work, Kattman said yesterday, is that some of the residents on that street have intimated that they will want sidewalks before the summer is over. All of the south side of the city south of Voorhees street will be gone over by the engineer's force so that when any sidewalk or curbing Work is wanted by the residents there will be no delay in surveying.

About fourteen men, employes of the city, will go'to work tomorrow also un der the direction of Mr. Kattman In preparing the six local public parks— Collett, Rose, Steeg, Memorial, Thomp son and Voorhees, for the summer. All of the buildings, benches and other properties will be thoroughly overhauled and the ground put into condition for the summer season. During the last week some time has been spent at Collett park in taking out a number of tree stumps wbi^h have proved eyesores for some years.

U. S. REPLY TO HAKE NATION'S STAND PLAIN

Said to Clearly Inform England That America Will Trade Withi •Whom She Pleases. ?,

WASHINGTON, March 27— President Wilson tonight carefully examined final drafts of the American reply to the British order in council. Unexpected technicalities have cropped up to delay its transmission. Because it covers virgin ground and much research work has been necessary it was impossible to complete it until today. Tonight the president carefully studied it. Details were withheld but it was stated the document compasses "American rights to trade with whom it pleases." The order in council is characterized as a flagrant violation of international law.

The note may be sent tomorrow or held for a few days.
