struck Albany in dead earnest. Repre

council to order this much i.tedfd and
lasting improvement made on several
streets. Nothing speaks better for a
city than to have a major part of the
streets paved. If the paving is done
that is asked for there will be between
30 and 40 blocks paved this coming
summer. Pavement.

OUR BRIDGES.
Commissioner Butler went to Halsey
this afternoon to map out the bridge
work near there for the comi lg season.
He reports codsiderable ahi ad for the
year, with a very busy season in pros
pect. Mr. Butler is ouite interested in the
project of Harrisburg people for a
bridge at that city, believing that one
should be built there. It is on the
main road through the valley, and a
bridge would reach out into a tine sec
tion across the river. A question that
will come up is whether the river is
navigable at this place and will requite
an act of congress. It is said to be the
opinion of Congressman Hawley that
Harrisburg is the head of navigation
and that an act will not be required,
una mui an &ct win not ue reuuireu.
Mr Butler is not vet satisfied on the '
point.
Commissioner Butler is said to be the
best bridge builder in the valley and the ,
county is fortunate in having so ex
pel lenced a man in its court.

What Does This Mean, ,
Chicago, Jan. 23 The number of
idle freight cars in the United States
and Canada, as shown by the report of
tne American Kailway Association to
day, is on the increase. On January 19
uiera were izz aii laie cars, more than
twice that of January J9, 1910, when
61,836 idle cars where reported. R.il
road men assign three reasons for this
surplus: First, thi snow and etoims of
1910 tied up many cars and brought
out all the empty cars the railroads
cou'd obtain; second, the low ebb at
which the iron and steel mills and big
manufacturers are operating; third,
the enforcement of the rules nf inter

unloading.
