Curbing and Paving on Main Strcot.
Dnst Monday morning C. II. Mayhow,
who han contracted with tho town au
thorities for curbing and paving with
hexagon blocks ti section of Main Btroot,
put his mon to work and tho curbing is
now hoing placed, It is substantial
work, tho granite curbing hoing two foot
high, sot well into tho ground. Tho
work of laying tho block1* will bo bogue
as soon as tho curbing and side walks
aro in proper condition, lt was found
necessary to foll several trees in front of
B. S. Look's s toro and Boll's Pharmacy.
These trees had grown to considerable
size and tho roots had bulgod out of tho
ground, making it impossible to placo
tho paving without destroying so much
of tho roots as to kill tho trees, and it
was thought best to ont thom down.
This work of paving will mr.ko a decided
improvement for tho business part of
town, and it. should be carried on, section
by section, as Council linds itself aldo,
until the winde of Main street has per
fect pavements, lt will ho worth to tho j
town and property owners infinitely
more than it costs. Tho pavements will
bo laid with a slopo of th roo or four
inches from tho Innor to outer edgo.
