DALLAS, October 1.-The action OF the city
council in passing the ordinance giving permis-
sion TO the parties asking the privilege of laying
bols dare pavements on Elm street IL 10 be com
m-nded In the highest degree. II is the entering
wedge for further improvements and Is a meas
ure that the HERALD has long advocated win
all Its ability, and the prOprietOrs Halter them
selves that their efforts have contributed In no
slight degree to bring about the good results.
When Elm street Is laid with this pavement ana
good sidewalks provided, property on the llne
OF these Improvements Will no doubt
advance at least 80 per cent, In value,
and real estate owners ON other streets
VIII soon recognize the advantages
10 be derived therefrom and even all the princi-
pal business streets of the city viii DO alike I'M
proved and bcauti0ed. No action Of the city
council has ever before met with such uniyor.
sal appreciation and II IL an index OF prosperity
and advancement In one of the most important
elements which are to make this city great and
prosperous No one doubts that Dallas, II not
great inland city ofthe country to-dayls making
rapid strides In that direction, and the great.
est drawback to her advancement has
been want Of proper sewerage and good
streets and paycmcnts. The HEnALD CON
gaiul0es her business men particularly
and her property holders generally In this new
departure, hilu 1ttUltlh luul IL VIII 10 HluEt 10
advance the city In her upward and onward
progress to greatness than any other step which
has been taken by those who have her welfare
in their keeping. 1t is safe to predict that be-
fore another year passes by all the principal
business streets OF the city will bo paved, side
walks laid, and that Dallas VIII become the most
beautiful aud attractive city In Texas, as she Is
now regarded as the most promising business
point IN the whole state.
