Kept constantly before the public, and in
which every good citizen ought to feel a

row. that after taking ten feet on each side
for sidewalks, (Which is too little) there
would be only eighteen feet left.
Now TO say nothing, of the consummate
folly, Of crcwdipg together as though there
was no room on Gods !ootstool, except
within the Limits of this corporation; to say
nothing about the pleasure of seeing beau
tifally laid out town, with broad straight
streets, and the consequent rapid sale Of
real estate at high prices, and the induce
Ineat IL would hold out, to men of capital
and good citizens, fixing their permanent
residence here; To say nothing about the
amount OF tax, to which we wonld be sub
jocted, Tor al coming time, in the shape of
increased rates OF insurance, throwing all
these into the backg, ound; must we and our
children, forever breathe a vitiated atnos-
phere, and paddle in the mud through
streets where the sun never shines, except
at midday, and be in danger at every step,
OF contact with walls on one side or the
other. merely TO paiader to the cupidity of a

that our troubles in this respect, are all in
