The Herald says: The matter Of laying out
personal attention Of large number Of citizens
and city officials. There are two distinct prop
positions, one Of which will, no doubt, bo
eventually adopted. The frat msy be called the
popular one. and is this: The passage q law
sssaon Of the tho city uboe to take tsdrv ggs
to obliterate all present streets and property
lines, SO far as necessary, and lay out the dis
trict upon an entirely new plan, with system Of
wide, straight streets, and sell the land border
ing upon them to those who wish to occupy it
with buildings for business purposes. The ad-
Tantages OF this are readily seen, but it it iB done
the whole present system Of sewerage and paw
EIdeWalks, hydrants and cellar walls, a majority
Of which are yet intact and very valuable, uust
be torn up and rendered almost worthless. The
cost would Of course be enormous. The second plan
widening, Strengthening, and extending Of
streets, perhaps the discontinuance OF small
portions OF some streets, and the general i'm
pro7ement OF present lines. This plan, although
provement as the frat, neceasitates far less Of
trouble in its accomplishment.
