OVERHEAD CROSSING
NEARING COMPLETION
The steam shovel on the overhead
crossing work at McVey'a Point fin
Isbed Its work on Tuesday of this
week. The whole work on the fill will
probably be finished during the next
week. The work which Guthrie and
Company have yet to do on tn south!
side of the bridge is trifling. They!
havr cut out the road way on that
side in excavating the earth for the
fi'I on the north aide and for the
southern approach to the bridge. The
exact time when their part of the
work can be pronounced finished will
depend to aome extnt on the appro
val of the highway engineer. The
surfacing la to be done by the state
highway commission.
Two circumstances tended to make
tl'.e progress of the work much more
rapid for the two preceding weeks
than for some time before. One waa
that the excavation work vras in soft
crumbling clay, instead of heavy rock.
The other waa that the freezing
weather of that period had been much
more favorable to the work than tie
rainy weather preceding. About 1200
care of dirt per week had been movd
during that time, aa against a maxi
mum of 700 a week before.
The soft clay In which they have
been working lately clogged up the
shovel, so. that It did Dot readily fc-a
itself.
Great quantities -of baled
straw had been used, to sprinkle in
the bottoms ot the cars, to keep the
clay from sticking to the cars and pre
venting the cars from clearing them
selves on the dump.

TIN PAN ORCHESTRA
GIVES SERENADE
A musical feature of the Williams
Green wedding, which was not down
on the original program, was pulled
offby a company of boys, about si
dozen in number, and from -six to
fourteen in age, who organized a til
pan orchestra, and made life a burden
to the. bridal pair,, and to everybody
e'se for two or three' blocks around,
for. about an hour Monday evening.
When accosted by a resident of tha
neighborhood, during the rendering of
the third number of the series, one of
tl'?m docared that Mr. Williams was
too stingy to trrat, and so they had to
kep up th? serenade until he did.

was treating the same bunch of boys
ovr and ever; that they retired, re
organized and made a new demand

to be "worked" any longer. j.

ance, It would be this: that there waa
too much ot aetnenes In the young
gentlemen's repertory and in the tons)
