SUMMARY.
The contract for city improvements not
yet completed and those that have been
let, but not yet begun and under charge OF
the Board Of Public Works will aggregate
considerably over 100000, and will ado
much to the comfort and health of the city.
One of the most needed Improvements
and which is now under contract, is the
Seventh street viaduct, which will be fin
ishsd as rapidly as possible at a cost of
some $138,OO0. 1t is also il contempla-
ton to build other viaducts across Phalen
Creek Valley, which is rendered
absolutely necessary to the wondrous
growth OF the city, and the network OF
railway tracks, which must be crossed in
order to get safely TO the Dayton bluff
portion of the city. The Phsien valley
q portion of ii, at least, will be filed sp,
and thus that part of the city to the east
Will via with the other localities, and be-
come busy marts, teening with ito tens of
thousands of active, energetic and prosper
ous citizens. The board OF public works
hes much of the prosperity of the city in
its hands, and with them il depends vheth-
er il shall in the future become as its posi-
ton demands, the finest city in the great
northwest, noted as being the healthiest
city on this continent, as it is one OF the
most beautiful both by nature and by art.
That health is contributed 20 By first class
sewerage, we'll graded streets, lovely snd
we'll laid out parks and places for reore-
alton, venues embowered by shade trees,
and with a system 30 perfect that the
stranger will delight to s%ojourn here. Our
city fathers have done much, and from
what they have now undertaken, this city
will stand in the proud position of being
the cleanest and heaIthiest city on the
American continent
