The International

Last night gave what turned out to be the strongest show seen there for some time, the specialties, opening act and burlesque being Ar, not a single weak number showing. The newcomers were Marie Dayle, who is the p of a rich

ptano voice ot immense volume, and Charles Buckley,an all round dancer

arose as to the new work proposed by the board of works, Alderman Hamilton pointing out that the fund was already overdrawn $7oo and that the new improvements would cost a large sum _ additional; also that all expenditures in the last six months had been made in the north and east of the city. The mayor and Alderman Dean and Clute pointed out the ab- solute necessity of roads to the mines and cemetery.

The report of the board of works, which should have been presented Jast week,recommended that a tour- foot sidewalk be constructed on the east side of Georgia street from Co-

and Ar di The burlesque, “Boccaccio,” is extremely funny and full of ridiculous — situations, pretty girls in tights, sparkling mu- sic, &c., the second act being es- pecially rich in comedy scenes. The costumes are extremely rich. Jack Jowett appeared as the owner of a magnificent baritone voice which he uses to advantage. The fact that the second act of the burlesque did not begin till after 12 p. m. prevented many from seeing it Monday night, but last night that matter was remedied. It is a great show from start to finish and, being so long, the curtain will rise at 8:30 promptly this week.

lumbia avenue to K north side of Le Roi avenue, from Georgia street to the railroad;

from south end of bridge on Wash- ington street to foot of slope, con- necting with present sidewalk, and that old steps on west side of Wash- ington street near the bridge be re- moved; that the city engineer be in- structed to establish the grade on Davis street from the Red Moun- tain railway to the north line of the Nickel Plate addition. This is to connect with the new road built by the War Eagle company in place of the one closed by the fencing of lots.

The city engineer estimated the

cost of improvements at Washing- ton street and Le Roi avenue at $2516 or $5600, according to the plan adopted. _. The board of works report for ‘this week recommended that the city engineer be instructed to sub- mit profile with a view to establish the best grade from Spokane to Butte street.

That the board of works be in- structed to stop work on Davis street.

That tenders be called for the construction of a road on Monte Christo street from Second to Fourth avenue, on Fourth avenue to the junction with the road to the Columbia-Kootenay mine near Park street, according to the city engi- neer’s plans and specifications,

That the tender of John Dunlop for excavation for the fire hall build: ing be acce pted.

That the city engineer be request- edto estimate and report on the best method and cost of draining the swamp north of Third avenue.

That the city engineer be in- structed to report on the surface draining of Columbia avenue from Earl to Monte Christo street, of Washington ‘street trom Third to Columbia avenue, and the cost of a 14-foot plank sidewalk from the bluff to St. Paul street on the north side of Columbia avenue.

That the plans submitted by Ar- chitect Honeyman for new fire hall be adopted and he be instructed to call for tenders for the construction of the same forthwith.

Mr. Dunlop’s bid for the excava- tion of the new fire hall site was 50 cents per yard for earth; $1.85 per yard for rock.

The city engineer's estimate for the road to connect with the Co- Jumbia-Kootenay road was $3461.
