This part is being laid in a strip 'half the 'width of 'the street at a time, (but farther on where the pavement is standard width, it will be laid in one strip.

A carload -1,000 , bags -of cement are used daily and about 600 feet of standard -!width pavement' is the average clay's 'work,' although last year 1,1100 feet were 'laid one day .by this company between ',Dublin and Mitchel, It is expe'cted•, the -work will be completed in August.
