PRICE FIVE CENTS — S |PAVING: COLLEGE AND AUDITORIUM FOR QUEEN CITY Dickinson Taking Remarkable Forward Strides in Recon- struction Program PLANS NOW BEING MADE Unusual Development Assured— Northern Pacific Plans Normal Site Spur Dickinson, N. D,, April 19.—Dickin- son is soon to undergo 4 transforma- tion if the plans of the city council are put into effect. Many of the city’s streets are to be paved, twenty-four blocks having been selected as a start- er. Villard street, from the western extremity of Block F at the intersec- tion. of Fourth street west, to the eastern end of Block 7, at Fourth street east and the streets lying north of Villard and several cross streets{ will have the initial work done on them. Though the central portion of he city has been selected for the start, it is expected that every street will be paved after operations begin. inginer W. S. Russell has rueted to submit plans and specificaticns for this work, including wers, at the earliest possible moment when a special meeting of the council will be held to approve the} estimate. Spur to Normal Site That tentative plans for the new Normal buildings, soon to be erected in the west end of town, are under way, was evidenced Wednesday of this week, when F . Wilmont, district freight and passenger agent, and J. L. Burnham, assisting general freight agent, representing the Northern Pa- cific. railway, came here to confer | with Supt. S. T. May of the Normal, | respecting the placing of! trackage from the main line to the Normal site. The company officials assert that aj 'spur, 1,400 feet long, will be sufficient and the probable cost \of this track will be $4,000, The direct route of this track has; not been fully decided upon, the ques- | tion being whether to circuit the city limits or to extend a track up Eighth avenue west. By the building of this track, which will mean cheap and easy.,transporta- tion of materials, the cost of erecting | the big Slope Normal will ‘be consid- erably reduced. Municipal Audi aay, ~huge munivipal--additorium -or community: building which will contain ‘a gymnasium, swimming pool, shower and tub baths, and a modern theatre, is now being projected by, the .city, council, the main. point of considera- tion being whether an entire new uilding shall be erected or whether it will be possible to buy and remodel the armory. As to the latter project, the state owns a $5,000 interest in the building and a $7,000 mortgage rests |; lupon the place. It is believed that the expenditure of about $30,000 be- sides the $12,000, would put the ar- mory in fairly good shape. Sentiment for an entirely new building seems the stronger but no definite location is in mind.
