STREET is being parked for several
blocks. The plan is TO diminish the road to
some thirty feet in the middle, leaving on each
side continuous garden, with choice shade
trees OIL the outer border, thus adding to every
house or lot a beautiful space, which can be
sodded and planted with shrubbery and enclosed
with delicate railing at the pleasure of the
owner. When completed the effect will be very
beautiful. In few wears the whole street will
be uncovered like ''the Linden - in Berlin.
