It will take some money to do this, and the town may not doit this season, but it will be done just as soon as there are funds available for the work. This will make it easy for the D. L. & W. to extend its switch at Cath arine street over to the factories on 9th street, and they ought to do it. - While descending from the hay loft in his barn Friday evening, Dr. B. F.
