The expenditure is being made in a lump sum owing to the fact that the rapid growth of Casper has pre- cluded the possibility of doing the work by degrees and has necessitated immediate steps to relieve public in- convenience.

With the completion of ie new work and the inauguration of the other proposed improvements Casper will take the lead in modern cities of ‘he state, and will have one of the best sewer, water and paving systems of any of the smaller towns in the west. Every improvement that is be- ing made is undertaken with the view that Casper will be one of the largest cities of the state.
