4 A DECIDED lMPRovENENT.--lf we are
/ not mistaken, we commended at the time
| the action of the late Town Council, au-
tholiring the citizens residing on second
street to fill up and gravel their street, and
receive credit upon their accruing tax
cs, The wisdom of the measure has Ger
tanly become apparent to all who have
Observed the dry and firm condition of
that portion Of the street which has been
repaired, and compared it with the ball
ance Of that and the other streets; which
have been little cl than immense beds
oltlack mortar in which everything at
tempting to wade are in danger of swamp
ing; while second street during the same
timc has afforded better crossing at any
point than any Of the crossings elsewhere.
Will our present Council and the citizens
not persist in thus improving our streets
and making the m navigablo without risk,
at all seasons?

subscribers to file tho papers and thus
preserve the story.
