With Ali possible dispatch Whether the Genera
Govern ment lends its aid to the improvsmant rs

Creating Bars The Ci'y Council through the
Commit es, are taking ef-ctutl steps to prevanI
the washing of loose dirt into James river. and
thus creating bars that will have to he removed
hereafter by dredging machine. At a late me. +

tioued the deep ravi1es along the suburbs will be
eventually filed and rendered valuable.

Neat and Tidy-A white fellow, who sells milk
about the streeis, and always has with him one or
two ours, was noticed to his cans on the ground
a few mornings since when the dogs approached
them and licked the spouts clean as if they / ad
been washed The gentleman who bad wit pssaj
the occurrence Thinks the dogs are trained to the
business. judging from the promptnsss with " bich
they did the licking when the milk vessels were
placed within their reach Doubtless the dops
as clean as heir master, but a man would
need good stomach to drink the milk sold by such
dirty wretch.
Valuable improvement: After much persuasion
and begging, the CEy Couucil have ar length
made an appropriation to have Mill alley, from

that particular spot It is gratifying to every tax
payer to sse the most rigid economy exercised
when toe toances of the city are uneasy and de-
pressed, bur improvements Ike the ab we should
ne made when needed, even though the taxts are
high and money tight.
