energetic supervision of Commits.
sionor SULLIVAN. We are pleased
to note the instance of the widening
of Union street whero it opens

about half the street for the length
of the lot. Workmen on Tuesday
uprooted the giant old cottonwood
tree that for years has shaded
about a quarter Of an acre Of ground,
and abatcd a sinking nuisance by
cutting down and burning up some
half dozen large ailanthus trees. -
Tho result of all this will be to
