WO Improvements Ahead Citizens May Protest The council has started up im provements by adopting a plan for paving, sidewalks and curbs, which if placed in ita entirety, will total $30,000 in cost. In making up the program the officials have been mind ful o f the provision o f the charter by which a protest o f sixty per cent o f property owners on a project can defeat an improvement, and have included everything that seemed to call for improvement. Sidewalks can not be stopped in this way, but paving and curbs can. The proposals call for the paving o f Main street and Monmouth avenue between highway and curbs. In making an improvement each street is considered a project and sixty per cent of property affected can defeat a project. FE LLO W O. A. C.

The w riter stat ed that he had picked out o f the surf a pocket book and life insurance pol icy bearing the name o f Charles Prime and requesting the informa tion be passed on to people who were interested. It developed that young Prime departed for California with Mr. and Mrs. E. Riddell some time ago and word from him had not been received recently. The letter was felt to warrant a telegram to Mr. Riddell inquiring after hia fellow traveler and one was sent according ly- A return telegram from Mra. Rid dell came, reassuring the anxious parents.
