STREET COSTS TO DECLINE
Council to Make Progress Payments
on Improvements.
A measure authorizing the citv
council to make progress payments on
street and sewer improvements was
reterred to the voters yesterday by
the city council. The measure was
presented by Commissioner Barbur.
According to Commissioner Barbur
the measure' will lower the costs of
improvements, inasmuch as it Derm its
the council to pay not to exceed 80
per cent of the contract price as the
work progresses. Under present laws
contractors must wait for about 90
days following completion of con
tracts before warrants are issued by
the city.
In cases of large projects contrac
tors are forced to seek financial aid,
whiclt naturally adds to the cost of
the work performed, and it is to save
this extra cost that the progress pay
ment measure has been presented by
Commissioner Barbur.

Do You Hesitate
13
to become a wearer
of Eyeglasses???
In the old days when knowledge concerning the
working of the Human Eye was quite small, it
was generally believed that age only brought on
the need for wearing glasses.
It was in those days that the false impression
existed that wearing glasses was to be avoided.
This is not true today. Wearing glasses is not
a sign of age, but an exhibition of real intelli
gence.
Weak eyes demand the assistance of proper
lenses. People must have effective, efficient
vision. If this cannot be secured through natural
faculties the deficiency must be supplied by prop
erly fitted lenses.
We are perfectly equipped to cor
rectly measure your defects of focus
and prepare from the facts lenses
which will correct all defects and
enable you to secure the comfort
of efficient, natural vision; and at
the same time make the glasses
becoming.
