The time of the Chestnut street bridge contract was extended thirty days, the contractor having trouble in securing lumber. Contractor Walter Condron was ordered paid $400 more on his Ce dar street contract. He reported that he would finish the grading In another week If good weather pre vailed. He urged the council to have a sewage system put in on part of the new street to replace the one that had been torn out when the street was cut down.

The first good Impression of your progressive town that greeted my eye was your asphalt streets and also the number of men employed in the construction of streets and side walks, and also the many nice resi dences in course of construction, all of which goes to show the stranger shows that above operating ex- that your Board of Trade and citi- penses, interest on the funded debt and the cost of the Improvements, the road had over $20,000 net earn- zens generally are a progressive peo ple and believe in a bright future for Coos Bay and a larger monthly pay lngs. Of course, this wouldn't mean roiU the angel of prosperity, a very Dig dividend on $2,000,000 capital stock and figuring Interest on this $2,000,000 would show a loss or the year. Sometime ago, General Manager C. J. Millls stated that the road's business was showing a continual gain from month to month over the previous year. This winter, the road will undoubtedly handle a much greater lousiness than ever be fore as the C. A. 'Smith Lumher Company win sliip many logs over it. FIRE AT NEW SCHOOL.
