STREET IMPRoyEMENT.-Street Commits
sioner Davis has been receiving warm COM
mendation over in the south part of the city
recently for the activity made manifest in
putting n, o and P streets in passable COZ
dition. Up to last week they had been for
months badly cut up, followed out, and in
state tending to drive travel from them, at
least above Tenth on n and along the whole
line of the other streets. and their condition
was worse than that of any other streets in
the city. All last week. however, teams and
men have been kept at work hauling, level
ing and scraping, and with excellent effect,
and those highways are now in as good condi-
ton as the present obstructive street law
permits them to be. This work of repairing
began on the north side, and has now extend
ed nearly across the city, and is to be followed
up on cross streets as far as is possible and to
the limit of the fund.
