                                        WHEN GOING DOWN WASHING- 
                                                        TON STREET.

                                        ________________________

                                            NO MORE BRICKS AND THERE
                                              ARE SWEAR WORDS IN
                                                           THE AIR.

                                        ________________________

Work on the Washington Street paving is temporarily delayed on account of the contractor running out of brick.

Messrs. Clancy & Clarkens went to Ohio today to get enough to finish the job. As there is a great demand for material from all over, the delay may be longer than will be condusive to the peace of mind of the mildest property owners along the street.

Those who are in the habit of uttering curse words do not hesitate to give some horrible examples of the science.

But it does not seem to be anybody's fault. Contractor Clancy had no means of knowing, when he ordered the brick, that so many culls would be thrown out as there has been.

The casting out of the culls accounts for the shortage.
