A NEEDED IMpEovEMENT.--Vandc host
street, between ST. Philip and Rutledge, isnow
in deplorable condition. It is subject to be
ove1fowed at high tides, and is flooded by
every rain, the water remaining on the ground
until evaporated. This stre5t ia the great
thoroughfare for all persons going to the up
town market, or to the different churches in
the neighborhood. In many places the curb
ing is higher than the sidewalk, and the latter
is converted into quagmire, through which
pedestrians are compelled to plough their way.
Some attempts have been made to improve
the sidewalks by filling it with the street
sweepings, but this proved 10 be comparative
ly useless. The asphaltum pavements in other
sections of the city have given general satisfac-
ton, and it is desirable that steps should be
taken to have one laid in Vanderhorst-street,
where it Is essential to comfort.
