IIP If SHOVEL Section Made Impassable for Traffic Temporarily by Workers of WPA (Special Staff Correspondence) BARSTOW, June 22. Inconvenience has been caused motorists in the south side of Barstow for a few days by the WPA street project because of the impassable condition but the results will be worth while.

Most of the sidewalks and curbs have been completed. The level of the streets has been lowered considerably, necessitating the using of a large steam shovel. This caused First and Second streets, running north and south, and Frederick and Williams streets, running east and west, to be torn up at the same time. A large crew of men has also been busy lowering water and gas lines, creating deep impassable ditches in some places. Taking in consideration that the improvement win make a drastic change in the appearance of the town, residents have made little complaint, according to the men in charge of the work.

VIADUCT SIDEWALKS Work was started last week by the Herz company contractors on making sidewalks on the east end of the viaduct over the railroad yards. C. L. Caine, supervisor of highway No. 91, will be the construction engineer for the state.

Patterson wa3 working at the ditch on Highland avenue, and I was conveying tents to the site for the men. Ike Worley was the teamster, and we met a man named Tex on horseback, and Ike passed the time of day with him, and then we returned. On coming back we again met Tex riding at an easy gait, and Ike said 'You didn't stay and Tex answered 'Long and passed on without stopping.
