Property Owners and City Offi cials Hold a Confer ence. TO IMPROVE MAIN STREETS Sentiment Now for Treated Wood Itlock mul tlui City Engineer Stmts ImcMlgntlon. Preliminary steps havo beon tnkon by some of tho lending business men and property owners In tho business district of Marshlleld to securo tho imvlng of tho principal streets In tho down town section. At a rccunt meet ing City Engineer Sandberg was in structed to gather data on tho amount of work ami to furnish esti mate's of tho cost. Unless prcbont plans aro chnnged, tho paving project will bo ono of tho largest municipal Improvements and ono of tho most beneficial over undertaken on Coos Bay. Tho meeting of business men nnd affected property owners was called by Mayor E. E. Straw and tho city councllmen, nearly nil of tho latter being present. It is tho intention of Mayor Straw and tho council to act cutlroly in accordnnco with tho wish es of tho business men and property owners In tho Impiovemont. It wns tho senso of tho meeting that treated wook blocks, probably cedar or plno carbollnlum, bo used Instead of planks, but this may bo chnnged whon City Engineer Sand borg concludes his investigations and makes his icport In a few days, es pecially as to Front street.

T. McCormac, president of tho Chamber of Commerce, said tho im provement had beon discussed for some tlmo past nt his meetings, and ho and several others ( in fact nearly everyone present) expressed an opin ion regarding tho kind of improve ment which would be most desirable. Action Is Taken. After a full expression of opinions, a motion was put by J. W. Dennett nnd seconded by J. E. Oren, tho lat ter on behnlf of tho C. A. Smith Lum ber and Manufacturing Company, that Front street bo paved from tho north lino of tho city hall to C street, and that tho specifications provide for a four-Inch concieto base, prop erly constructed with ono inch of sand on top as a base for tho block pavement prepared by earbolinium as tho council might direct. This mo tion was carried without a dissenting voice. Hugh McLnln suggested that whito cedar blocks of burned cedar trees could bo used without tho expense of tho carbollnlum, which ho said would cost about ono dollar a squaro yard. That tho majority of thoso present scorned to favor the idea that tho ce dar would Inst fifteen or twenty yenrs without any preparation, nnd thnt this matter will bo taken into con sideration by tho city council nnd en gineer when tho Improvement is un dertaken. Other Streets Discussed. Thoso Interested in A, n nnd C streets were nlso anxious for tho Im provement of them, nnd steps will bo taken ns soon ns tho engineer can ac complish tho work to lmvo these streets permanently improved. It was suggested also by J. S. Coko that tho contract for Cedar street nnd Sec ond street bo changed so as to make tho improvement thero conform with others. This was also to bo taken under consideration. Tho question of planking tho streets was ono which nt first seemed to bo favored by qulto a number, but It wns bhown conclusively that undor existing conditions plank would bo ontlrelj lnadequato in some places. In tho Utenkwuter wnrohouue, whon tho Flanagan & Bennett snfe ins re cently hauled for tho new bank on ono of tho heavy trucks, and by ono of tho heavy Malloy teams, It was demonstrated that no matter how now or how substnntnl these planks would bo that for heavy teaming thoy would bo impracticable, and would last only a few years, and would bo MOW TO INTRODUCE you to them, You're invited, and when you come you'll meet the finest lot of clothes you ever saw. We feel that our good friends and our good clothes ought to know each other better, These are STEIN-BLOCHS, KIRSCHBAUM'S and other good makes, and you can put it down as a fact that better clothes, more stylish, more perfectly tailored, never came from the hand of a tailor, gr HE NEW SUITS are in a number of very smart models, and the patterns are 'varied enough to suit every taste grays, browns, tans, in plaids, stripes and checks, jJjTHER DEPARTMENTS are full, also of fine seasonable goods; hats on blocks, Shirts and neckwear like a regular flower garden of color design, Fancy hosiery in hundreds of new patterns, Fancy waistcoats in novel styles, Marshfield Leading Furnishing liablo to causo serious loss at any tlmo, especially if they are any dis tanco above tho ground. The teaming during tho last two years is very different from that for merly done, as Dr. McCormac ex plained, when he told of the effect of teaming on tho streets of Astoria. Thero 4x12 plank were used in places along tho water front, where they weio unbnlo to put in more substan tial streets. The constant wear! and the corks in the horses' shoes caused tho wood to chip so that' it was cov ered about an inch deep in places, which he noticed when passing the water front. This in winter proved equivalent to about ono inch of mud, whereas in summer time It was so dry that it was a menace to tho place by flro being caused from it. Fn or Work P.uing. Tho portion of Front street nbo.-e montloned between the city hall and C street has a substantial foundation, and it was claimed by some that tho block pavement will undoubtedly provo entirely satisfactory. Blok pavements can also bo used on any of tho streets farther back from ho water front, but on that portion of Front street which has no founda tion, othor thnn tho mud flat, It will bo necessary to contlnuo using tho plank until tho foundation Is made for It. Tho fooling wns unanimous that tho streets of tho town should bo im proved, nnd that wherever the foun dation permitted it tho Improvement should bo of a substantial character. Mr. Sandberg, tho city engineer, explained tho method of construction of tho various substantial improve ments of streets nnd tho piobable cost of tho samo, and M. jor Straw also gavo estimates, which ho obtalued in Portland, regarding tho cost. After considering all that has been said, tho block pavemont seemed to havo be.-n considered tho most suitnblo for tho conditions existing In Mnrshfleld. t AT THE CHURCHES t CHRISTIAN SCIENCE.
