IMPROVED TRAVELLING FACILITIES.
The Enterprise Of this morning has
the following with reference to our
"steps" project: 1.-The suggestions
OF the News, a few days since, that
there be stairs constructed on the hill
below the Imperial-Empire Works, on
the cutoff trail, Is a good one. All
who pass between the two towns on
foot, invariably take this cut-otf-often
to the risk Of their necks Of dark
nights and In slippery times in Winter
therefore, it would seem that there
10 q sufficient number Of persons Inter.
ested to speedily build the stairs in
question IL q paper for subscriptions
should be circulated. The stairs should
be made in several sections, with rail-
ings and platforms or landings at suit
able distances. Such stairs are about
rs much needed as amy improvement
that could be named, as n means Of
facilitating travel between Gold Hill
and this city. A portion Of the way,
steps might be cut In the side Of tue
hIli-at the upper end where the
ground Is not very steep" In reply
TO the foregoing we will state. that II
the right Of way can be obtained from
the Tunnel Toll-Road Co., Of which
Mr.. Farley Is the agent. the steps will
probably be built. The expense OF
constructing the same. including a
railing on one side. will be about 1925.
It Is thought that the public in general
will be willing to contribute half n
dollar each toward carrying out the
project.
