lowered between Skidmore and Prescott
streets). This change is being made pre
paratory to the improvement of the ave
nue between Goldsmith and Prescott
streets. Haswm will be used. The Im
provement will be In two parts. The first
Improvement will be between Goldsmith
and Fremont and the second between
"Temont and Prescott streets. There Is
a hill between Skidmore and Prescott
streets. It was desired to lower the

Broadwat Link to Bb Extended. It
was announced yesterday by B. S. Jos
eolyn. president of the Portland Railway,
3-ight & Power Company, that arrange
ments would be made at once for the ex
tension of the company's Broadway line
from Twenty-second to Twenty-fourth
streets. The extension will begin at the
end of the present Broadway line on
Twenty-second street, and extend from
Knott to Fremont, thence east on Fre
mont to Twenty-fourth. This will give
the people of the Alameda district the
Improved service they have been demand
ing. East Stark Assessment Made. The as
sessment for the improvement of East
Stark street, between East Twentieth and
Kast Forty-first streets, amounts to $47,402.
There were some deep cuts on the street,
particularly along the north side of Lone
J-ir cemetery, which increase the cost of
the Improvement. However, the city will
pay a, portion of the assessment of the
cemetery and the Cemetery Association
the remainder. Crushed rock was used
on this improvement, and it probably -will
be the last important street paved with
crushed rock and gravel.

tee on Sunday school work, Robert J.
