A Drive Wanted.

There is very little induccment for men Of
means, III this citY, to keep fine horses, for
the reason that wc hare no proper road or
dive upon which they. can show their PAGES,
or give wife and little ones an airing. OF no
other city In this country, Of any thing like
the size Of our own, can this be said. With
everything Elyorjng us, q level country, . lake
shore, and pleasant suburbs, We are still with
out decent thoroughfare by which to enjoy
these advantages. Take the North Side, Clark
street is in q horrible condition, ip places
practically impossible, and Wells street can
only be classed as talr. True when tho city
limits are reached there is the Rosehill and |
Evanston Plank Road, which is, Mt the cx-
penee Of the company owning it, kept in cx-
cenent repair, bur as We before said, the diff
movement to put North Clark street in thor |
ough order, but no practical result has as get |
been effected. Every reader will agree with |
us that the present condition Of tho street is |
disgrace to the city and thatit ought to have |
Immediate attention. ]
On the South Side Michigan Avenue does
very well until ne get to Twelfth street, when
it becomes very poor country road State
street is not in condition for driving, and
Clark street is only SO 50, aud that for but
short distance, when It Is scarcely passable for
there is nothing, whatever, to speak Of In this
direction, and the residents thcreaway are
compelled TO ride either In dust or mud the
entire gear. The expense Of constructing and
keeping in order three drives, in the respec-
tive divisions Of the city, would be compari-
lively email, and We submit that our mctropo-
lis can we'll afford such an expenditure, in
fact, Chicago cannot afford to do without the
improvement. We have heard several gentle
men Of wealth give rs q reason for not own
ing carriage and pair, that "there WIS no
place to use them" and We arc quite sure
| that many II family would enjoy their own

| VIII not our new Common Council esehcw
politics for season and give modicum Of
their valuable time toward beautifying tho
city and enhancing the comfort aud convent
