Mr.. T. G. Stocksdale has added a new
cos, of paint to the OUTSIDE of his dwelling
on Carroll st.
The B. rough commissioners will, We
learn, require that pavements be laid slopg
the sidewalk Of all improved property.
This strikes Us for fifty six feet on East 81.
but we will be well pleased to do IL snd
have the street paved from end to end II
will be the only street in town to make
such boast.
Mr.. D. s. Firor has laid an excellent
pavement in front Of his property on Grace
ham Avenue and Mr.. u. Warrenfeltz will
do likewise shortly on the adjoining prop
ertv.
One ofthe beat Investments tina: hos
been made ofborough funds is that Of the
cobbled water ways. It not only makes .
perfectly finished street, but adds to the
really available width at least ten feet and
further will result in the saving of much
lab " in repairing streets and opening Of
drains once Or twice each year. The Cor
poratlon having done 50 well, private cit
liens are having work done in this way
which the corporation he's not the funds
to do at present, but will allow the cost Of
this to go as credit on future taxes.
When finished we will have streets, such
as few towns of like size can boast.
