1t will be seen that the outlay for this pur-
pose increased rapidly until 1857. But du-
ring that year the ratio Of increase WAS un-
precedentsd, going from 81 900 Of the pre-
vious year to the extraordinary sum Of 1l45,-
600, nearly. The few years preceding 1857
were marked by large accession to our pop
ulation and business, and Ill kinds Of inn
provsments received strong impetus from
this prosperity. The expense Of finishing
streets, such as MaeAdamiIing, ohargeable
against the lots, would add largo sum to
the foregoing estimate. The results Of our
labors in this line arc very great. They give
intrinsic value TO the city, and add 10 ito
beauty and convenience.
