A large part of the cost of the improvement will have to be borne by the city, as it owns At 9:30 a. m. there will be a pralse | considerable property abuiting on this thoroughfare. The work of excavating was comploted on Plerce street yesterday and Contractor Wickbam will commence laying brick there this morning. It Is expected that this pleco of work, which is only a block long between First and Stutsman streets, will be finished by Monday or Tuesday of next week. The property owners on Fourth street are anxlous to have the paving on thoir street lala this winter and if the weather keeps good Contractor Wickham says he may do 1t as soon as he gets through with Plerce street. Had to Break Bricks. The efficacy of the cement flller on brick paving has been demonstrated on North Main street on the work done there re- cently by Contractor Wickham. A few days ago in order to connect & lateral pipe with the main sewer on this street, it was found necessary to tear up a good sized section of the paving. The cement filler had made an almost s0lid mass of the brick and it was found practically impossible to take up the brick without breaking them. The bricks coull not be pried apart and had to be broken before they could te removed and the neces sary excavation made. The excavation was necessary as the sewer pipe from the new laundry building In course of erection was found not to be connected with the main sewer, An attempt to flush the sewer demonstrated this and on the excavation being made it was found that the lateral was ten feet short of con- necting with the main pipe.
