rho recent destruction by fire of the
Works at the foot of Kingman
c,..ot has led to the presentation to
NV village trustees of petition, very
topsivelv signed, asking that the
.,reet may be widened. At present, as
:. we'll known, the only convenient

and now as to the expense. We are
informed by one of the Trustees who
has oiyen the matter much considera-
ZION that the entire cost cannot be in
.n,d Numbers over three or four
,bousand dollars This certainly is
,ucb less sum than has been generally
sunnosed it would cost, and does away
with the statement so frequently made
that il will cost ten or fifteen thousand
dollars.
We favor public improvement; and
believing that the widening of Kingman
Street would be a public benefit, we
favor it. provided it can be done at a
reasonable crpense. The opening Of a
new street from Kingman to Lake
Street will only materially benefit the
owners Of the land through which the
street passes, and our trustees would
rain the thanks of the community by
dsconhnuing the idea of working it at
the expense of the corporation.
The ruling price for butter, on

have something to say about it in an
other column.
