The project of widening College avenue is conceived as a measure to increase safety of traffic on the street in front of the school where there always has been dangerous congestion since the high school was opened for use. The park board concluded that IT and when the street widening project is carried out at the high school it will be necessary to move In the sidewalk In front of Rock Spring Park property. The board frequently has discussed building a coverltc bridge to span the stream there and this probably will be done.

With the approaching completion of the federal locks project at Riverside Park, and the incidental adding to the park frontage of a strip approximately 75 feet wide, the park board began last evening considering plans to beautify the park accretion resulting from the federal work done. Landscaping this tract wilt be done under supervision of the park board. The park recreation activities the first of the month. It Is being considered at some future date to arrange the park tennis courts for skating when the weather turns cold to extend recreational activities Into the winter time. It 'i- would be possible to put an eight's Inch curb around the tennis courts and flood them with water so skaters could enjoy the sport of skating there.

This would be a safer way than going to the river or ponds, the park board members think. i August Dormann, superintendent- of parks, reported he was preparing to remove seven old trees in Rock Spring Park which have died during the summer. He this is no alarming number of trees to die in si summer In an area the size of Rock Spring Park, forested as it is. He wffi put to work group of WPA raking leaves and grubbing out dead trees.

That document provides that treaties shall be "the supreme law of the land, anything In the Constitution or laws of any state to the contrary notwithstanding." Need Ratification Following through with that idea, the lawyers also are studying the convention at Geneva, to which the United States belongs. Although most of these conventions were negotiated before the United States Joined in 1834, end have not been ratified by this government, they deal with such subjects as hours of industrial employment, child labor, night work, minimum wages, and otherV'Condltlons of employment. What the lawyers are whether, If the United States ratified such a convention, or a treaty with a single nation governing working hours in industry or some other condition ot employment, the treaty would stand up- as the "supreme law of the land." Other Provisions Studied Other constitutional provisions being exhaustively studied by the NRA lawyers involve the federal government's Jurisdiction over interstate commerce, taxes and post offices, government contracts, tariff rates, ancf war emergencies.

The old NRA was based largely on the interstate commerce clause, but the other powers have been used in various regulatory laws in the past. The Guffey coal bill and the social security, bill are based largely on the government's taxing and spending powers; control of the post offices been used to prevent fraud; several proposals are now pending in congress for substitute NRA legislation based on jurisdiction over those who contract with the government.

The Le- Clalre lake project will create work for 113 men, and the American Legion park program will furnish work for another 35. At one time IdO men from the relief rolls were working at the Edwardsville CCO camp doing direct labor with the boys on forestry work and soil erosion control. At the relief office it was said that approximately 25 of them were working at this time. City Clerk Fiegenbaum yesterday learned that an.allotment of nine workers will reorganize, file, and generally renovate the city records.

This provides two piers with the gate anchorages embedded and ready for the trunnion pins. The additional 26 feet of the upstream ends to carry the service bridge, which will bring them to elevation 460 mean sea level, remains to be poured.

The present river stage is slightly higher than 405 means sea level and is expected to rise but little during the next 24 hours. To the river rise of six feet since last Sunday is attributed a very noticeable increase in the amount of water that the four 16-Inch pumps are required to handle to keep the water to the desired depth within the cofferdam inclosure. The metal side seals for the gates are being lowered into the inclosure in order that they may be placed in position in the piers. These are large curved metal plates against which" the gates will rub when they are raised or lowered. The bottom seal performs a similar duty and will be concreted into the sills which separate the piers.

Cable Guy System From frequent observation of the pier forms, while they were being filled with concrete, it was evident that movement or shifting Was negligible. An extensive cable system of guying is in use to steady the forms until the concrete is placed. Plans are being laid to push the. placing of the heavy mattress and stone protection work designed to safeguard the concrete footings from any danger from scouring or undercutting by the river. The mattress of timber is built in place and heavily ballasted with from five to twelve feet of derrick stone ranging in weight from 500 pounds to several tons each.

The Mississippi Lime Material Co. which furnishes this item, has delivered one 400-ton barge, and is loading others for shipment. A crane on the cofferdam equipped with a most ingenious hook is handling from the barge to the cofferdam floor. Work on Sewer Work on intercepter sewer extension oh the Illinois shore by T. A.

Work on the auxiliary lock cofferdam by John Griffiths Son Co. has progressed to the point where the outer channel is now occupied by construction equipment and tonight will be closed to river traffic.
