commenced on the square between Front Leye.
aud Levee streels-say twenty-five feel Us feet
hanquette, and The centre 10 be paved with squar
stones as far as Rampant street, and from that
to Claiborne with round stones This improve
ment, II must be obvious TO every one, il adopted
| by the Second Municipality, which we have ever
reason 10 believe will be the case, cannot faii 4
meet the appreciation Ofthe property owners of boil
Municipalities. The cost 10 he met, dess the Valu
OF the materials now on the street,) say twoihiiJ
by the owners OF The property on the street, an'
one-third by the Muncipalities-sav each.
IL this Improvement is carried ont tbe wide ban
quette in the business portion ofthe street will bea
| great accommodation TO commerce, aftording am
pie room for packages, etc, without ihcommodlng-
| as AT present-ioot passengers; and beyond the
business portion the outer edge of the banquette cal
| be made ornamental with trees, which doubtless
would he better cared for, and be useful as
| shade than those in the centre of the street
| We therefore offer resolution asking the appoint
| ment of a committee TO confer with the Seeoni
Municipality on the subject, and submit the follow
