We hear that certain thoughtless peo-
pie have urged objection to the proposed
new plan of levee sidewalks, giving as a
reason for their objection that tho 'plan"
is in the interest of the Illiuois Central
railroad company, and that the new-stylc
walk will cost more than the present walk.
The Illinois Central objection is all
pedge- assishness-and needs
no reply; and, any person who can figure,
may ascertain that walk constructed on
the new plan will cost much less than the
building Of one on the present plan
would cost. Some Of the walks on the
levee, all the walks in front of an entire
block, cost 1876 for each lot, most out
ragcous price to require any property
holder to pay for sidewalk. Col. Wood
a member Of the street committee, has
made an estimate Of the cost Of walk
constructed on the new plan, and says it
will not exceed $3.50 for each lot, possibly
not more than $500.
