A CONTRACT FOR

A PAVING ESTIMATE IS MADE BY CHARLES City Engineer Thinks South A Street Improvement Impractical Other Matters Before the Board. , A franchise and contract which will be entered Into by the city and the Terre Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern traction company, if an agreement Is reached, is being drawn up by City Attorney A. "M. Gardner, to give the company the use of some streets of the city, probably North Twentieth and North E streets (or the use of freight cars, in case the , company will agree to take the freight line out of Glen Miller park. This the T. H. I. fc E. has promised the board of works to do. therefore it Is probable a satisfactory understanding can be reached. The city attorney stated this morning he was not yet sure about the provisions of the franchise, but no pains will be spared in constructing a contract which will hold the company. This franchise will first be entered into by the company and ' board of works, after which the board1 must approve It The contract then goes to the city council for ratification.

Battel a portion of West First street from Pearl to the first alley north was vacated, so that the street could be moved farther from properties owned by the petitioners.

President Taft 1s t most largely concerned In the outcome of the congressional contests. He has been given to understand by some of the campaign managers that in case he does not have a Democratic House on his hands after March 4, next, he is very likely to have an insurgent Republican House.
