more extensively travelled than the Sewall
street extension from this city to Ilallowcll.
Besides forming another connecting link be-
tween sister cities, it has opened up many
desirable building lots, and several families
are establishing for themselves homes on that
newly developed territory. The road appears
to have been faithfully built, but after the
