STRENGTHENING 4 STREET. - oue
would think that where a street Of Car
son dovetailed into a county road Of
Ormsby and where the county road was
three times as long as the city street
the stree. might be made to conform to
the county road. But not so think our
City Fathers, so far as the Warm
Springs road is concerned. So far as
the city limits extend that road has been
declared street. And it must be made
to conform on the south line with the
fence of the Orphans Home. So Joe
Cowan, acting on tbs directions of the
new city survey of the south line
of the Warm Springs street
as it is denomiusted--h has brought for
ward his line northward two feet beyond
Brvant's fence, and has extended the
line eastward in q straight line, bringing
tho fence northward almost diaGonally.
A plain sight over the fence so far con-
structed will carry the south line of the
Warm Springs road through the cotton
wood trees planted to the north OF the
Warm Springs Hotel. 1t may be that
the County Commissioners will concur
with the City Trustees in this matter OF
Strengthening the Warm Springs road
throughout. The late Abe Curry assured
US, however, that he had expended $751;
900 in macsdamiziDg that road, and John
son & Bradley have asserted to US that
they have expended 1000 more In the
same direction. But We presume our
County Commissioners will not fail in
the matter of Strengthening this road be-
cause of the expense of purchasing a
little real estate and the expenditure of
little item Of $50, 900, or such mat
ter, for the purpose of macadamizing.
By all means let us have county road
that will conform to Warm Springs
street in straightness. even if it does
leave the Warm Springs Hotel to the
south, for by that means it will shorten
the road to Empire.
TIE CONCERT given last evening by
the Little Girls Band was remarkably
well patronized. The performance which
was = very interesting ono through
out, was heartily applauded. A con-
slant impro vement is noticeable in this
band. and with proper training and hard
study these ambitious little ladies will
become proficient players. The large
attendance last evening attests the in
tsrest felt in these small performers by
our citizens. We did not learn what was
the amount ef the moneys received
enough, we trust, however to encourage
our young friends to renewed efforts.
That HEALTH CoMx1rrEE.-By .
natural play of stupidity, or brown
study. or slipshodity, we said in yester-
days APPEAL that Health Committee
bad been appointed by the Town Board,
consisting Of Messrs. Dri:sbach and
Hatch. This was the result of letting
our pen run into an old groove. Dries
bach Il Hatch, as the wide world knows,
used to be Carson business firm. Now
and then it has been the repertorial
province to bspuff tho same. Hence
this lapsus. The names that ought to
have been named are Drissbach and st.
Clair.
TIE display of FIRE effects on the
mountain side last night was the finest
We have ever seen here. Tho line OF
confsRration, early in the evening. was
very vivid and very beautiful. The fire
creeps slowly down the mountain side
and at present it seems - if it would not
stop short of the valley. If the high
winds continue to-day there will be need
of some hard firs-fighting.
Mr.. FIRMS Of the Board of School
Trustees for this district showed us some
plans for new sinks for the school house
yard last evening-an improvement
mnch demanded by considerations of
health, nestness, &c.
