Editors Dispatch: 1t is to be regretted
that the Council views with such Indifference
this enterprise. 1t has been neglected .oo
long already. Nearly two years ago called
the attention Of some Of the present men,
bers TO the subject, and urged its importance.
There is no direction in which you can 60
from the central portion of the city in which
the same amount of expenditure will i'm
prove half so great an amount of property.
Nor is the undertaking so great as some sup.
pose. The materiHl Immediately at hand,
and that which would be furnished by the
opening Of Twenty.tirSt street from Frank.
lin to Broad, and Twenty-second, Twenty
third, and Twenty-fourth from Broad to
Venable, would be sufficient to fill the rayine
and grade the avenue 10 Twenty-fifth and
N streets. -..s.
This would open that section lying be-
tween Twentieth and Twenty fifth, and Ven
able and Broad streets-some forty squares
into which there is now no direct access eX.
cept by common country road, dug out of
hillside, and for the most part on private
property.
From Twenty-tfth and NJ the streets are
smooth and the grades easy to Church Hill
and Cbimborszo (shall I say parkil. This
elevated plateau can be reached from the
First market by an easier grade than can the
post.office, on Main street, from the same
point. And there you eau enjoy pure air
and as beautiful, varied, and extended views
as from any other point about the city.
In this direction also beautiful drive
will be opened up uia Oakwood, Blakey's,
and thence to Williamsburg turnpike and the
National Ceme'ery-more pleasant in sum-
mer than any other, as the sun Is at the back
instead of in the face.
The expense necessary to complete this
Improvement is so small In comparison with
its importance that think you cannot urge
it too strongly.
1t is said that cities, like horses, grow one
end at time. Our friends in the West End
have been fairly dealt With, and they have
profted thereby. Now let The East End and
Centre have their turn; for if the Centre is
not directly it is indirectly benefited by hay.
ing afforded to the business and laboripg
population easy and convenient access to so
desirable locality for residences as the East
End affords.

that own no property iD that end of town,
and therefore can speak impartially, not hav'
