They have advertised for men to carry on the work and will require a crew of from 30 to 40 In order to com plete the work with the best possible speed. As soon as the city engineer has established the grade ground will be broken on both Oak and Wash ington street. It is planned to have all the mains and connections on the portions of those two streets where macadam is to be laid this Fall, completed before the paving crew reaches those points, so that it will not be necessary for the new surfaces to be broken in digging the sewer ditches. The only places where the work of street building and sewer construction can conflict are on the blook on Washington street be tween Main street and the Southern Pacific depot, and at the Intersection of Main and Oak streets. The contract between the City of Dallas and Venske & Taylor calls for the completion of the system before December 10, 1908, the sum to be paid by the City for the new Improvement amounting to $17,984.75. The con tractors have agreed to furnish all extras and install all additional con nections etc., at the rates given in their itemized bid.

The executive committee of the Polk County School Children's Industrial Fair has arranged to have the Fair held In the Woodman Hall this year, Instead of the college gymnasium where it was previously held. This Is more favorable location, being near the central part of thecity, and requir ing less labor and expense to prepare it for the installation of exhibits. ' The dates have been set for Wednes day, Thursday and Friday, September 30, and October 1 and 2, a more favor able arrangement than ' that ot previous years since It 'gives the exhibitors a full day, Saturday, in which to remove their exhibits, mak ing It unnecessary for them to begin to carry away the goods immediately after the prizes have been awarded. The management of the Fair is plan ning to make Thursday, the second day, an "Old Home Day," similar to celebrations that are held in many of the Eastern states, and are extending to every person, formerly a resident of Polk county, no matter where his or her home may now be located, a cor dial Invitation to be present at that time. This new thing is expected to be one of the most enjoyable features of the Fair. The big parade by the school child ren of Polk county will be held accord ing to the custom in the two preceding Fairs and several prominent educators from different portions of the state have been secured to take part in the evening programs. Interest in the Fair and In prepara tion of exhibits is greater among the schoolchildren of Polk county than ever before and there is not a district that will not be represented by a strong series of exhibits.
