PIanking The Streets

A paragraph stating that the streets Of
fort Wayne, Ind, are to be planked, and the
remarks of a correspondent in Saturdays
Journal relative to the bad condition Of our
stnets-remnd US that we once made Il
suggestion, with good reasons, why it might
baFery properly followed urging the plank
in, of Main street. Something must be done
With our streets more than there has been
5ne. At this time, we have in winter the
fuddiest streets, and in summer the busiest
treets ofany city in the West, we venture
10 say without running any risk Of being
doubted in the statement Yet there is an
immense deal of drayage and Wagering done
in our corporation, which would be increased
were the streets placed in the proper ,condi-
ton. Main street, wide and well graded
avenue, has been during the winter broad
deep mud hole, incomparably worse than the
principal roads for few miles outside of the
corporation. First street, the next promi-
nent thoroughlare, was at times almost i'm
passable. And yet this is the principal city
inIndiana, so far as commercial importance is
concerned.
In short time, this mud will be replaced
by almost unfl thomahle depths Of dust, which
really appears to be quite as serious an evil
as the mud. We speak nothing of its gen
6ral disqgreea5leaeSs, but Of the actual iniu-
ry tits to the goods and business of our mer
chants. and the great indirect obstacles il
throws inthe way of all business. In view
then of these winter and summer evils, some
remedy is required at the earliest available
time. With all the crawling done in the
city there is but one square we can now recall
where, the gravel appears to be of any d.
rect benefit 10 regravel, or to gravel at all
in complete manner will be almost if not
quite as expensive to property holders as
plaHiking the streets. We shall at some fu-
ture time, enter into details as to the expense
of Planking Main street. But we now say,
that so far as we have examined into the
matter, we believefhe expense will not be
much greater than crawling properly, and
that property holders will pay the additional
expense freely for the additional advantages.
Plank this street, and we are sure it will give
such satisfaction, and present such hand
some and clean appearance that other streets
will soon follow the example. And byhaving
such illustrations right here, of what Plank
Roads really are, inrnake, appearance and
benefits, the citizens of neighboring towns
will be spurred up to unite themselves with
us by this excellent species of public improve
ments, with which practically they now know
nothing. With few of our streets pIanked
all the present inconvenience of mud and
dust will be avoided. But the many advan-
tages will strike the attention of the reader
We merely allude to the subject to bring il
before the thoughts ofour citizens, that they
may be induced toexamlne into the mat
ter.

to The wheatcrops &c. OF that section, speaks
thus:
The prospects OF the wheat crop through
out the country is far from being fatterlng
The appearance is now that it is badly win
ter killed. We saw but very few fields Of
wheat during our travel that looked in the
least promising. In the timbered land OF
Calumet county. wheat has not been as
badly injured. The California excitement
throughout the country is much greater than
we hadsupposed. Many substantial farmers
and business men are mcrtgaging their farms
to borrow money at 25 and 50 per cent, to
carry them to California. We fear Califor-
MA will never pay even the principal which
she is borrowing from Wisconsin.
