MAY PAVE SOON
C. & O. to Send Representative to Confer with Administration About Main Street Bridge.
Protesting residents of South Sixteenth street were today assured by the beard of public works that that street would be repaired this year. The former administration delayed its improvement ior three years and it is now in a , terrible condition. Residents of the street informed the board ihct probably in a year or two they would ask that the street be paved. All streets in the city which are not permanently improved are in very bad thape this spring and at the suggestion ,of Mayor Robbins board members will make an inspection of all streets U3 soon as possible. Streets which have been damaged by public service corporations will be ordered repaired
at the expense of the corporations. City Attorney Bond said the gas company had left a big hole in the paving of North Tenth street, just north of the railroad, and that yesterday a man had his wagon broken driring into it. "There are three streets which must be repaired by the city as soon as possible," President Bavis said. "They are North Sixteenth, South Sixteenth and South Sixth streets." Frank Fox, representing the C. & O. railroad, was before the board toc?y and said that Division Engineer Bertram would appear before the board Thxirsday for a conference on the proposed raising of the C. & O. bridge over Main street eighteen inches, which would affect the grade of the road from the piano factory trestle north as far as North Second street The boapd today confirmed the resolution for the paving of Main street from Fourth street to the bridge but before the improvement is started it would like to be assured that the rail- ' road company will raise its bridge. If the company refuses to take such aotion the city will have no recourse because the bridge was constructed on a grade given the company by a former city engineer. The board today received a petition for a relief sewer on North Twentieth ' street, near C street. - Charles Howels, states that the drainage is so bad there that the basement of his residence is frequently flooded, and he has threatened to bring suit against the city unless relief is given him. A petition for cementing the alley " between North Fifteenth and North Sixteenth streets, from C street to D street, was presented. The board confirmed the resolution for cementing the roadway of North B street, from Fort Wayne avenue avenue, to North Sixth street.

ents, each of whom has charge of twenty-five miles, will be a boon to the county, both in better roads and financially, it will probably result in fewer miles of roads being bunt. The chart issued by the state, shows that Wayne county owes $211,000 in outstanding bonds for the new county roads macadamized or paved within the past three or four years, and that on her 340 miles of roads, she spent $16,000 in repairs last year. However, Randolph county with about the same area and less population, has more than twice the mileage of county roads, spent and owes for them in proportion. Debt About Same. The outstanding bonds in this county and Randolph are about in the same proportion but are exceptionally low compared to other counties. Rush county with about fifteen miles more than Wayne county, has debt of $500,000 in outstanding bonds, or more than twice Wayne's debt. This county's experiment in concrete roads, may throw an entirely different light on the road situation here. The Haas and Barton roads, the Middleborough pike and North J and the Gaar road are being built now and will be given a severe test to prove the assertions of Wayne county, Mich., authorities of the value of the concrete road. The two roads will be completed in August and will be about four miles long. Try Concrete. The reason the commissioners were willing to dabble in concrete, is the fact, that they are trying to find a material which will be equally satisfactory for all classes of traffic and at the eame time, do almost entirely away with the heavy upkeep expense of macadam and gravel roads. With the new road just being tried out, the county's experiment with
paved roads and the condition of the county treasury in which there is little money, road matters are in a doubtful condition. One of the county commissioners is authority for the statement that no new roads will be attempted this year. What the following year hold forth depends largely on circumstances and the tax rate. It Is not probable that the county commissioners will take up the question of taxes for a few months. The county council has not yet begun to think of the matter and probably will not discuss it until the approach of the proper time to act, in September.

The figures have not been compiled but union officials S,ay;all the locals except Keeweenaw county, voted overwhelmingly in favor. The result, it Is expected, will be an---unced this afternoon.
With a forceful sermon, well-delivered, Rev. U. S. A. Bridge, new pastor of the Grace M. E. church, made a favorable impression with the members of his congregation, who filled the church at the morning service. The resurrection of Christ, he said, gave hope to Grace church that it would enjoy new life and continue to gain in spiritual strength. It also holds out, he said, hope iq the Christians of an eternal life. The large choir, under the direction of Mrs. Grace Gormon, sang several special Easter selections. Rev. Mr. Bridge and his family expect to come to the city from Portland Thursday to occupy the parsonage of the Grace church. The family consists of Mrs. Bridge, three sons and a daughter.
