In reviewing the history of the or

N'AVY TO HERD SEALS AS
AID TO CUTTER SERVICE
Estimates of the cost of the Im
provement work contemplated on
Jackson, East Webb, Raley, West
Court ana Bush streets and Perkins
avenue were submitted to the council
along with p!ans last night by City
Engineer Geary Kimbrell, who, with
; a representative, of the Warren Con-
- struction company, has been busy
figuring out the approximate cost to
different property owners for the past
two weeks. The council took no ac
tion, but the plans with the figures
have been placed oa file in the office
of Recorder Fitz Gerald, where they
may 'be seen 'by anyone interested.
The following are the estimated to
tal costs of the paving work: East
Webb street, from Cottonwood to its
intersection with Court, $38,451.00.
Jd.ck.-5on street, from Maine to
Elaine streets, J19.214.50.
Raley street, from Bush to Arc,
$18,345.00.
"Court street, from Main to Ash
etrect. $32,645,000.
Bush street, from Jackson to Raley,
$2816.00.
Perkins avenue, from Jockson to
"Raley, $2837.20.
Main street, between north end of
1 bridge and Jackson street. $2701.00.
The plans for east Webb street
have been changed o that, if adopt
ed, the pavement will be 38 feet wide
between Cottonwood and Mill and 30
feet wide from Mill tcf Court, thus
reducing the total cost of the work.
Engineer Kimbrell also announced
last night that one of the property
owners on Jackson street had sug
gested that a fifteen-foot parking be
placed in the center of the street,
u.in. 'iftc(-n foot driveway on
each side.
Want Street Vacated.
A petition from II. M. Sloan ask
ing that the city vacate the small por
tion of Alta street abutting his black
smith shop between Cottonwood and
the Episcopal church was referred to
the street committee.' The street at
this p ace is wider for a distance of
about fitly f-."-t than it s on east and
favorab:e a'tiftn on the petition
would make It the same width. In his
nMition Mr .loan stated that, his
business reiu.red more room, but It '
la understood that the reduction In the j
cost of paving in front of .his prop
erty which the vacation would se
cure is also a factor in his request.

Attacked Him.
Philadelphia, Pa. Handicapped by
a broken wrist, Peter Jones, the 72-year-old
turnkey of the Eleventh dis

Richmond street while he was intox
icated and was taken to the Eleventh
district police station by Policeman
McCaffrey.
About a half hour afterwards Nash
rattled madly at the cell bars and
demanded a drink of water, which
the turnkey handed him. After drlnk

en the floor and flew Into a rags

unlocked and entered the cell and
was stooping to pick up the cup when
Nash kicked him oh the wrist with
such force as to break the bones.
When Jones rose and faced Nash
the man again attacked him. Crippled
as he was, Jones grappled bravely
wittuNash, who is a much younger
and apparently stronger man. Jones'
wiry build, however, made him
quicker and after a hard struggle he
succeeded in overpowering him.
This done, he left the cell, locking
the door behind htm and went to St.
