Davis advocated the memroial, and
said that while he regretted that it
might not be practicable at this ses-

was no reason why this particularly
disagreeable change should not be
made at once. Senators Williams and
Beck presented memorials from the
press association of Kentucky, for the
abolition of duty on all articles used
in making paper. Senator Johnston
and eight Others presented similar
petitions.

VANCE STREET.

The city government agree to pave
Vance street in substantial style if
the citizens will raise One-third of the
necessary amount to pave the street,
this spring. Mr.. Gage and other pub
lie spirited citizens have taken an
active interest in the matter, and
obtained about ten thousand dollars
in subscriptions, 1t is estimated that
the cost of thework will be in round
numbers $4,000. The legislative coun-
Gil taking it for granted that the full
amount would be raised, proceeded 10
advertise for bids. We regret to learn,
however. that there is some danger of
the work falling through. The citi-
zens of Vance street, generally, and
for some distance off on both sides,
have subscribed very literally, consid-
ering that they are so heavily taxed
for sewerage and other purposes, have
had to clean out their vaults, and will
shortly be put to the additional ex-
pense Of making sewer connections.
Before the work can begin or be lctout
it will be necessary to raise in the
neighborhood of one thousand dollars
additional by private subscription.
We hope, e,that some property owners
who have not subscribed will be iu-
duced to come in, and that so great an
improvement to the city will not be
permitted to fail for the want of a few
hundred dollars. This is very i'm
portant street, and when in good con-
dition affords one OF the few good
drives about the city. There
are some very handsome residences
on it, and part of the street is finely
shaded. Many persons are interested
in the condition of Vance street be-
sides the residents and property own
ers. Every business man who sends
a cart, dray or free delivery wagon out
that way, could afford to give some
thing toward the paving of the street
People who ride in buggies and car
riages, people who expect to go to
picnics at Estival park, and all who
take real pride in the appearance
and permanent welfare of the city
should fall into line and ho!p to pave
it street by street The paving of
Adams and Madison is secured. Vance
being in south Memphis, would nat
urally seem to be the next in order.
