A NEW STREET, IMPROVEMENTS, ETC-Al
this season of the year PEOPLE are looking fol-
Few houses, and pleasant rents become more
and more scarce every year. Last season a
new street was opened by private enterprise
from Bracket to Clark, entering the latter
nearly opposite the school lot on that street.
This street is already largely used, not only by
the school children from Cushman and Clark
streets, but for general travel. On this new
street we notice two of the neatest cottages
quite gems-to be found in the city, built last
season by 2. Fox Varnum. Esq. the owner of
quite number of valuable building lots in
that vicinity. An inspection of one of the cot
tages, leads one to believe that they are models
of convenience and comfort, to say nothing of
tasty finish. The plans were by Mr.. G. 81.
Kimball, the carpenter work by Mr.. Redlon,
the frescolng by Jost, painting by Messrs. S. 81.
Bracket & Sons Farley did the glass work
with his usual taste, Webster, of Boston, fur
nished the cornices and centre pieces. Messrs.
Iittlefeld & Wilson did the stair work. The
cottages and indeed all the lots on this new
street are thoroughly drained by means of an
expensive sewer, which connects with the
Bracket street sewer. One of the cottages is
occupied and the other is FOR rent.
AT the corner of the new street and Clark
street two enterprising builders are now putting
up large two story house with d French roof,
and deep basement. 1t will be one of the fin
est houses in that locality when flushed. There
are several lots on this street, which, we are
told, will be sold at moderate prices to the right
parties to build on. The fact that the present
school house on Bracket street must be replac-
ed within a few years by large aud elegant
desirable.
The new street was opened to the city last
year free of cost, but now the street is likely to
be OF so great convenience to many citizens,
the owner will expect the city to pay fair
price for it.
