Providing for Installation Of Cluster Lights Later.

City Light and Water Superintendent Chamberlin is having 2inch gas pipe installed inside of the curbing along Washington street, so that the installation of cluster lights will be an easy matter whenever the city council decides to order them installed. The contractors were given a slight setback this Saturday morning when City Engineer Osborne refused to permit them to use the gravel that had been shipped in and which was to have been used in making the cement curbing. The contractors were not responsible for the fact that the gravel was not up .to specifications, however, as they had ordered the right kind, hut the graved which arrived contained considerable clay and would not do flor cement work. It had been distributed along the street, but was all loaded up and hauled to side streets and will later be used In the foundation tor the brick work. The contractors are hustling their work right along and have considerable curb boxing constructed.
