EXTENSION OF MAPLE STREET.-Editor Spy:
notice in your paper of July 81 under the
head of "Church Improvements" referring to
the Church of the Unity, you say:
at was feared by some of the parish that the
city, taking advantage of the situation, would
extend Maple street through to Elm, in order to
make an easier approach to the new high-schOol
house. But it has been ascertained that the
city authorities have no intention of making
the proposed extension"
Now, Mr.. Editor, | am anxious to learn in
what manner it has been ascertained that the
city authorities have no intention of making
the proposed extension. There is not to-day,
neither has there been, any Getty authority"
since July "a, authorized to give such informa-
ton. Some three or four weeks since an order
was introduced in the city government calling
for joint special committee to examine and
investigate the cxpediency of extending Maple
street through to Elm. The order passed, and
the committee was appointed. That committee,
as | understand it, attended to the duty assigned
them, and unanimous report was made favor
ing the extension. Accompanying this report
was an order authorizing the work to be done.
The report was referred back to the same
committee, with instructions to report us near
as possible the cost to the city of the proposed
extension. Majority and minority reports were
submitted July "a, 1871, and the reports were
accepted in the city council. An order author
izing the work TO be done, which accompanied
the first report, had its first reading in the com
mon council, and its second reading was OBJ
jected to, and it went over under the rules until
the next meeting.
This objection to its second reading is no in-
dication of the sentiment of the board, as any
member has the right TO exercise it.
The matter of extending Maple street to Elm
is not dead in the city government, neither in
the sentiment of the people. 1t still lives, and
il it docs not show active life again this year, it
will next. &c.
NoTE.-0ur opinion was based on in(orma-
ton obtained from prominent members of the
city council, including majority of the board
of mayor and aldermen. 1t was conceded that
the extension would be made some time, per
hapS next year; but that it would be unwise to
add twenty or thirty thousand dollars to the
city tax this year. The fact that the city coun-
Gil adjourned Tor one month without taking ac.
ton, with the full knowledge that extensive
changes and repairs would probably be made to
the churchin August, sufficiently indicates the
indisposition of that body to act at present. 81
G." evidently believes in opening the street i'm
mediately; so do we. The city is about to dedi-
cate the finest high school building to be found
in New England, and needs this easy approach
to it that can be made over the site of the
