1 on the Bledsoe farm has been completed and Contractor Charles Brant, who came to Decatur Tuesday night, said that in all probability four or five days time -would be required to get the tools in position for the drilling. Probably the drills will start next Monday. The derrick for the rig is in position at the site of Atlantic No. 2 near Boody and probably within another week drilling will be commenced there. Provide for Emergencies At Lincoln No.

2 pipe connections to carry water to the well from 8tevens creek were made Tuesday and the -next step is to get an adequate supply of fuel to the rig. It so happened that the source of water supply was practically exhausted when the drills encountered the oil sand and at the same time the fuel supply was all but exhausted. Especially in new territory where unknown, conditions are to be encountered, drillers of experience prefer to have emergencies provided, for. It is possible that a delay, such as waiting for fuel and suspension of drilling while they waited, would make it impossible to resume drilling later, whereas if there was no cessation of the chugging of the drills, the difficulties might have been overcome. Sometimes in drilling only 500 feet a car load of coal is consumed and sometimes as many as 1000 feet progress may be made with that volume of fuel.

Here no one knows. No drills have penetrated a greater depth than 2000 feet in this field but the guess is made that there is a heavy body of limestone to be penetrated before' trenton rock is reached, and trenton rock is the goal. Drilling may be done today in No. 2 but there will be no rush until fhere is a pile of coal at the well. Manager A.

M. Myers, who came to Decatur Tuesday night, said that the first thing to be done' was to get coal to the rig and then the work would proceed. Rev. W. S.

PUT PAVEMENT -IN GOOD SHAPE State Department Men Repair Wear in Hard Road West of City The work of putting the hard road between Decatur and Harristown into first class condition for the heavy traffic season had been practically completes Tuesday evening by the gang of men sent to Decatur by the maintenance department of the stale division of highways. The outfit at work on the new concrete road included a portable asphalt plant mounted upon a truck by means of which all cracks that have appeared in the pavement since last winter, and especially the longitudinal crack that follows the line of reinforcement down the center of the road, have been filled.

In teams and scrapers have been engaged in grading and leveling the earth shoulders at each side. These had been in bad condition, due to use during the wet spring months, but now are safe for the motorist who turns off the edge of the concrete.

The resolution offered by Lut Krigbaum expressing the regret of the commission at the failure of this, the first link in the lake road, was unanimously adopted. No censure was carried in the but the commission put itself more firmly behind the lake shore plan than ever.

'Armory In Civic tenter The possibility of locating an armory in the civic center was brought up both by Dr. K. L. Morris and Mr. Krigbaum, who have in mind a tentative site which they wish to show the adjutant general of the state forces when he visits Decatur in the rear future.

Modern armories are built with handsome facades and without the battlcmcnted towers," so common in military architectnre in the late eighties. It was the opinion of the commission that such a building should go in the civic center. The West plan, indeed, recommends this site for an armory. Mayor Borchers brought up the re- of the property owners of Ccrro Gordo street between Fairview and McClellan avenues to change the name of their portion of the street to Fairview place. The commission unanimously recommended that the change be not made, first because the name might easily be confused with Fairview avenue, and second, because the committee hopes to see Cerro Gordo street extended past the proposed Millikin university athletic field, even though it follows a curve.

Study mil Board Itrgulutlon A proposal of the Decatur Bill Posting service to be guitled in the placing of its boards by' the-commission's recommendations and also to remove. from buildings all old posters, and to paint such buildings if owners will agree not. to allow them to be used for posters in the future was transmitted through Mr. A committee consisting of Mr. Krigbaum.

G. P. Vew's and John Zimrner was appointed to study the whole subject of billboard regulation end report. Revival of the plan much discussed several years ago to indicate certain thoroughfares as boulevards, traffic of which should have the right of way" over intersecting streets. was brought up and referred to a committee for consideration.

Hard to Straighten Broadway The straightening of Broadway between Woodland Prairie streets and the elimination of the dirt from the coal shaft was suggested by J. Fred Richter. The city engineer and Mayor Borchers foresaw legal difficulties if the straightening were attempted. "If you keep a horse," said the mayor, "you've got to count on litter: and you can't have factories without having some smoke. Similarly you can't have 'a coal shaft withojt having "some dirt." Mr.

Collins added that the paving of the street, as "rs contemplated, would do something toward keewng it cleaner, as less coal would be jarred off the wagons on a smoothly surfaced street. Revised Itrport on Platonics Mr. Collins, reporting for -the plat committee, brought in a revised set of recommendations for regulations governing the platting of property. These proposed rules are intended to be a guide to real estate men until a complete topographical survey can be made. The chairman of the plat committee and the chairman of the commission were named a committee to confer, with the plat committee of the board of supervisors to see if cooperation cannot be established.

The supervisors' committee can recommend or reject plats for record, and once a plat is recorded It is difficult to prevent it from -coming into the city, no matter liow badly it may be laid out. The plan commission has gone on rcord against narrow streets. Mr. Collins' report recommends the following as the minimum street widths: Short drives or courts 60 feet. I-ocal streets 6G feet.
