The work was commenced at Court street and will be continued to the city
line, nearly two miles.
A large crowd was present on Monday morning to see the work commenced.
The pave will be vitrified brick, laid on a six-inch concrete base and the
superintendent, Mr. Arthur L. Shreve, says that the work will be pushed with
all possible haste and that the job will be a good one.

pay each week, consequently there will be a lot of money circulated in the
North End during the coming summer.
