SWISS HALL TO BIJ ERECTKD OSTHIBD STREET NEAR JEFFER- down bltulithic pavement, with concrete sidewalks and curbing. This has been in spected, found according to specification, ar.d at the next meeting of the Executive Board. November 28, will be formally ac cepted by the city. Of the SS5.000 to be expended for this pavement, about I3.0TO will come out of ho Portland Railway. Light & Power Company, which has laid a double track of six-inch rails the entire distance, pav rg between the rails with Belgian blocks, laid in cement. As now completed, this pavement is as good an example of the kind as there is In the city, and the job Is a thoroughly finished jone. Water mains, gas mains and sewers have all been laid, and tor part of the 'distance an under ground conduit has been put in for tele phone wires and cables. Service pipes have been run from the water and gas mains to the curb, so it will be unneces sary to tear up the surface of the street when a property owner wants connection with the utility pipes. This JSJ.OOO pavement represents the third largest contract the city has ever let. Hawthorne avenue, at $150,000. which Is not yet done, and Union avenue, at I14O.O0O. which was, finished last Saturday, each will Include a grea,t outlay. Bel mont street was begun in July, 1908. and five montlis'have been needed to complete it. Of this time two months have been wasted by the contractors In- waiting for the streetcar company to lay its rails. Difficulty in getting steel from the East Is assigned by the latter as the cause of this delay. In ISM the right of way owned by Camp bell & Swlgert and used by them for their steam line to Mount Tabor, wag dedicated as Belmont street by the city. Since then it has been used more and more as a thoroughfare, until now It is the main channel to Mount Tabor, through a large and rapidly-growing dis trict. Until last Summer, when the pav ing was begun, this street had always been more or less Impassable, owing to the low. flat country through which It ran. At certain seasons of the year much of the way was completely flooded. Now the district through which this street runs has been transformed from country to city. - And not only that, but the value of property traversed by Bel mont street Is continually increasing. One man who owns a few lots Just beyond Lone Fir Cemetery says his property has trebied in value since the pavement has been laid. Fine residences and sightly buildings are going up all along the street. One of the best buildings is the Glencoe school, now almost completed at a cost of HOO.OOO, which is said to be the handsomest school building In the city. Where once was pasture land and meadow is now dotted with pretty bun galows and pleasant cottages. By actual . count SO new houses have been started since the , Belmont-street pavement has been down.

THE HILL LINE The Oregon Trunk has pur chased from the Crook County Investment Com pany, owner of HILLMAN, a 300-foot right of ' way through the city, and in the deed of conveyance the rail road is required to build a PASSENGER AND FREIGHT DEPOT, pro vide switching facilities and warehouses, adequate for the handling of the enor mous freight that is certain to originate at this point.
