Coon MoYE.-At the instance Of
Mr.. N. Bartlett o petition was gotten
up and numerously signed by the mer-
chants and business men on CONNER
cial street, praying for the establish
ment of q boat landing and the con-
struction of q slip at tho foot of Wash
ington street. This petition was Ibid
before the Council at its last meeting.
and it was decided to grant the prayer.
and an ordinance will soon be drawn
authorizing said improvement. We
consider this very wise move on the
part of ell concerned, and we hope the
work will be we'll and satisfactorily exc.
cuted. Lumber is comparatively cheap,
and a. this is an improvement that
will probably be for all time to come.
it Is desirable that it should be proper.
ly done at first. One by one these sub.
stantial improvements are being made
about our city, till alter . while We
will be able to brsg of the convenience
and beauty of Seattle over any other

ulation.
