TAaeadamIzed Roads.
The city surveyors department has been
making macadamized reads around the new
bonded warehouses bounded by st. Louis,
Conti and Clay streets. The roads are now
completed and afford increased facilities to
commerce. They were first properly graded,
macadamized eight inches in depth, and
then covered with three inches Of lake
shells, and rolled with u very heavy roller.
The two squares on Clay street, from Cont
to CustOmhouse, should also be macada-
mixed, as several new buildings have been
erected there; the street on these two
squares is now perfect quagmire. Delta
street, above Canal has many ruts and
holes, where broken stones should be used
for its repair without delay.
