lego at Fremont.
Following tho meeting of tho city
council Jast week at which thoblds
for paving wero opened, C J. Mc Na
mara, paving engineer for North
Platte, Lexington and other places,
stated that In his opinion tho bottom
In paving prices has been reached. He
thinks tho city is very fortunate in
letting tho contracts at this time a3
at each successive letting of a pavlnr;
contract In the state, ono or mora
contractors drop out on account of
tho low price. As a result, competi
tion will not bo so keen In a month
or two. Thero will bo a great doal of
paving in the' state later lif the year
and labor and material will naturally
bo much higher as tho demand In
creases. From tho flag code of tho Daughters
of tho American Revolution wo copy
tho following general rules regarding
tho correct uso of tho flag: When dis
played always place tho union at the
top. It must always bo carried up
right. Tho flag mustt never bo allowed
to touch tho ground. Tho flag muFt
I
i
not bo washed; when soiled or torn it
ohould bo roverently burned. Tho flag
must not be marred by advertisements
nor desecrated on tho stage. When for
mally raised, all present during tho
coromony should stand nt attention,
hand raised to forhead ready for tho
saluto. When the colors aro passing
on parade, tho spectator Bhould, If
walking, halt; if sitting, riso, Btand
at attention and uncover.
