Cedar Street Citizens Start
Movement For Permanent
Street improvements.
That tho street improvements
made In Marshfleld henceforth
should be of a permanent character
was the gist of a plea mado by J. S.
Coke and I. S. Kaufman before tho
city council last evening. The ad
dresses were heard with favor by the
council and by tho others present.
Senator Coke brought the matter
up In connection with the improve
ment of Cedar street, between Third
street and 'A' street. lie said that
the property owners had been dis
cussing the matter and had decided
that the sandstone paving which had
been ordered and which, upon tests
on Front street, had proved worth
less was not what they wanted. Ho
said that some favored plank, but
the most of them, he believed, wanted
asphalt. He said that ho was in
favor of asphalt becauso It would
prove of value to the city and tho
superiority of it within a few years
would enhance the value of the abut
ting property ten times tho extra
cost.
Senator Coke also said that he be
lieved this was a good time for the
city and the property owners to have
their improvements made. He said
material was cheaper than In many
years, labor was cheaper and that a
great saving could be effected by
having the work dono now. In addi
tion to giving employment tp tho
laborers on Coos Bay, he said it
would bo a good advertisement for
the city to bo up mid a coming when
times wero dull elsewhere.
Old Contract Interferes.
Owing to a contract having been
entered into by the city council with
Masters and Mcl.ain for paving
Cedar street with sandstone, tho city
officials stated that tho change could
not be mado unless Masters and Mc
Laln were willing to glvo up their
contract. Messrs. Coko and Kauf
man said that they understood that
Mr. McLaln was willing to give up
the contract. However, It was de
cided that a petition should bo cir
culated among tho owners of tho af
fected property on Cedar street and
that If a sufficient number could bo
secured to a request to have asphalt
or plank paving used Instead of
sandstone that an attempt would bo
mado to effect an agreement with
Masters and McLaln whereby tho
change could bo made.
Asphalt on Front Street.
Thoro is also a movement on foot
to change tho proposed Front street
paving from treated block to as
phalt. On this account, the city
council last night postponed action
on tho assessment for tho wood
block. If tho change is made, tho
paving will probably bo dono by pri
vate contract to provont tho delay
that would result from the city doing
It. This will probably mean that
Front street from tho city hall to 'C
street will bo paved with asphalt In
connection with tho proposed paving
of 'C street from Front to Second
and Broadway from 'C to 'B' by
prlvato contract.

returned last night from RooCuaijj
where ho has been for a few dj3
looking after tho Issuance of pre

District Fair on Coos Bay in Aug
ust. At tho CryMnl. Tho film "Winter
Amusements" at tho Crystal Theatro
last night mado a decided sensation.
It Is a hand-colored film, portraying
tho many amusements enjoyed by
thoso who live In the colder climates.
Coos Bay has a wonderful climate
but many of tho older ones experi
enced a sharp hungry want of tho
old days. "When I was a Boy," to
the younger generation theso winter
pleasures wero a rovelatlon. Tho
small boy was much In evidence.
Do They Really Do All Thoso
Things?" "Tho Only Thing I Ever
Skated On Was Roller Skates," "Gee,
I Wish I Could Sail on Thoso Ico
Boats." Tho green grass and tho
flowers carry their own blessings but
tho man who has not felt tho joy
of llfo as a heavily-laden "traveler"
rushes down a glassy hill or as his
skates carry him over somo lako
or river has missed somo of life's
keenest pleasures. "Tho Legless
Runner" keeps ovoryono lauzMng
and ho truly does somo woudoiful
stunts for a man, without logs. Tho
song, "Two Llttlo Sailor Be; " la
particularly appropriate now us tho
fleet is on our coast,' and "When tho
Winter Days Aro Over" brings ono
hack from the land of snowncl loo
safe to tho shores of Coos Bay.
