nament them, ard greatly lessen tina cost of
paving, and should 1t hereafter be deemed
Necessary to restore the street or avenue to its
original width or even less 1t could be readily
done without eitecung the property or interests
Ct others.
Considerable difficulty and con fusion arises
from the " az in which streets are designated
and named, and it has been 10 me mater OF
serious reflection whether another mode Of
designation should not be adopted, and am
satisfied that though to do so would occasion
some temporary inconvenience, great and
permanent benefit would result.
AS now there are so many streets be caring the
same appellation, though distinguished in the
case of the lettered by North and South. and
the numbered by East and West, that great
confusion occurs, and it's with great difficulty
that particular location can be ascertained
Nor ia even the dividing line between the let
tered streets, the Canal and q line drawn east
to the Eastern Branch, from is inters ecton
with Third street west, or that Of the numbered
stree Is, North and South Capitol streets, well
known.
/ would therefore recommend tina. the pres.
ent mode of designation be changed, discard
ing the use Of fractions and number those run
ming from north to south consecutvely from
the Eastern Branch 10 Rock Greek, and dts.
tin uieh the lettered streets running from east
to west in some way by which still preserving
their alphabetical arrangement their locanty
can be- readily ascertained.
While on this subject let me direct your az
tention to the immediate necessity FOR opening
Water street, from r street soatn 10 t@tn street
creasing commerce and tha absolute Necessity
OF making some provision for 1t, which caa
only be done in this way.
l would also direct your attention 70 tne
propriety OF opening Boundary street, ana
suggest, if planted with trees, IL might serve
in lieu OF what is much needed, puolic park,
and would, with Water stree', make drive
of over ten miles; completely encircitng the
city without crossing gutter

The Journal Of Commerce thus
notices the letter of Fremont with

Fremont WtTHDRAws!-But not

him with poisoned dagger. The
letter Of withdrawal was greeted yes
terday with shorts Of laughter. 1t
is about the best thing Fremont ever
did. The scene in front of orr Office,
when the salient passages We're read
on the bulletin, was exceedingly fuh-
ny. The countenances Of nine=
tenths Of the crowd were broad
laughing co1ntenances, while few
radicals looked grim. One or two of
the latter swo,e loudly, and pro-
nounced the letter a forgery. But
it was no forgery. Fremont with
draws! The radicals have been
growing loudly for some days over
the fact, which they said they knew.
We beg to assure them, if they had
any doubt about it, that it is trt,e,

the traffic over the Buffalo and Lake Huron

was Of tho opinion that IL the international
Bridge was completed at Buffalo. he could
easily double that increase. With regard
to the leased lires, they were working sat.

600, and after dedusting expensenses and
other charges, there remained balance Of
