near the lower depot to remain in such a

alley. If the street could be raised even one
foot with broken stone, it would be vast
| improvement in accommodation, and also in
| the look of the place. The citizens are con-
tnually finding fault about this place, and
they think that it is time that the most public
street that we have in the city be made pass
able.
