" LAFAYETTE STREEr-Now tina

adorned with gravel walks and shade
trees, matter of no minor interest tc
every citizen of Baton Rouge present.
itself, Lafayette street should be
opened. If the owners of property
there, cannot be.induced to believe
that the same quantity of ground
now occupied by the street on the
west end of the square, will be more
than equal in value to the ground
necessary to straighten Lafayette to
the Capitol; then the board of Select
men should appoint appraisers, after
the manner the law directs, to assess
the damages and have the work done
at the expense Of the city. There is
no time for delay in this matter, be-
cause the north gate entering the Cap.
itol grounds cannot be placed where it
should be, until the question is decid-
ed.
What is the value of the houses now
in the way? One thousand Dollars
would be very high price for them,
and to the whole town as we'll as La
fayette street this work would be of
incalculable benefit. So far from in
juriug the property in that square, as
has been contended, it would enhance
the value three fold by giving the
same quantity in return and affording
two fronts to the lots. 1.-THE property
bolders there. really knew their own
interest they would not have been 81
lent on this subject so long. BY the
REIMBURSEMENT they will give tVo
fronts to each lot, on thoroughfare
that would soon after become one of
the most public in town.
The commissioners charged with
fencing in the Capitol grounds should
renounce to the corporation the iufrac-
ton on North Boulevard street, before
it is too late to do so. There is no
man in the State who would regard
this arrangement with displeasure, and
the committee have undoubted author.
ity to act in the premises. Opening
Lafayette St. is of such Importance
that there should be call meeting of
the board at an early hour to take the
matter in o consideration.
