MAKING GOOD PROGRESS

Conrad Kellner, JobnHordeman and Charles Plat, who have the contract for making the cement curb on Division street, were in Chioago Saturday to sec about getting some improved cement tools. They have ail of the ourb completed now between Washington and Susan streets and are now working north from Susan. This improvement will make a very handsome street of this much traveled thoroughfare, but it is too bad the improvement is not to be canied on south on Division street' to the gravel road, as this is one of the most traveled streets in the,, city. It extend west, on Washington street to Cullen, and it is honied the property own-‘ ere along these two streets will have this dotoe.- The extra 1 cost* for the including the ; regular roadway yyjbich the atope road oontract calls for— is 76 cents per foot on eadh side for a 30 Toor roadway and SI.OO pet* lineal foot on each 3ide for a a 40 foot road-' way. It is doubtful j ,if the,, prop- i erty ownejrs ytll ever be *ble get as reasonable prices as. this again. Besides'lt is much belter ‘ to have the improvement alt done at once than it is to have a part of it done now and, the rest.in. a year ° T Ii 1 41 ' ,H(W nnf< The G. E.
