Telephone Lines
Are Moved.
To futher improve the appear
ance of Water street all telephone
lines have been removed and
erected on poles placed on the
river shor just in rear of tb
stores on the north side of the
stre t. As soon as the current is
ready to turned on the white wav
all telephone lines will be remov
ed from this street.
This plan is a decided improve
ment as all the unsightly poies
and wires will be removed from
public view
Many Lots
Improved.
Many of our property owners
have taken advantage of the re
moval of dirt from the streets
oreparatory co paving, and have
had great quantities of this soil
hauled and spread on their pro
perty.
This adds greatly to the ap
pearance of the premises that
have been buiided up with the
dirt, and will make them much
more desirable, especially during
aod after rains and snows.
