The Street Commissioner should MAKE
a desperate effort to clean up all the
improved streets before winter sets in.
The loose boards and sticks should be
burned, the cutters cleaned out, holes
filled. the highways rounded, broken
crossings repaired, and such other little
jobs done as may be found needful.
The crossings ON Second and Third
streets are generally in bad condition.
They were built on wrong plan in the
first place, aud now are from a few
inches 10 foot or two buried under the
earth.
The Council should give permission
to all persons whose sidewalks were
built on the below the street plan of two
years ago 10 false the same, and on the
building of new walks it should require
that they se built on the elevated plan.
The walks should be- at least a foot
above the street, instead of one and
two feet below.
IL gravel is to be put upon the down
town streets this winter, IL should be of
the coarse or larger description. In the
soft condition of the surface of the
streets. fine gravel would soon sink out
of sight, and be of no use.
III the property owners on CONNER
cial street arc unwilling that theRrade of
that thoroughfare should be changed, to
Its betterment and TO the advantage of
the whole town. and if they are also un-
willing to pay for Its Improvement, no
money should be expended upon it. If
the city has any money to spend let il
be put upon South Second street, the
alley west of Commercial. and elsewhere
where IL will be appreciated. A little
treatment of this sort will bring the
Commercial street property owaers to
their senses.
The opening of streets full width, and
the building of sidewalks along them,
from Lake Union to the new Denny
school and from the lake TO the Gsorge
w. Hall residence, are much needed;
also street from the Denny school to
Union street and another from Madison
street TO Jackson.
A few hundred tons of broken rock.

make an excellent dressing for business

TACOMA CITY AssEssMENT.-Tacom
City Assessor, ]. c. Shepherd, Las just
completed the assessment roll for this
year. The total amount of real estate
in the city is valued at Sl,65i,lO6. The
improvements, consisting of houses,
ETC., are valued at S3l5.SO6, and the
personal property at S70l,62 Total
value of property in the city, $2,67l ,532.
These figures will be slightly changed
by the Board of Equalization, but the
city will be taxed for about this amount
of property. This is a pretty good
showing, and indicates a large gain
over 1888, but, all the same, it is only
about One-fourth the amount of the
assessment of the city of Seattle. In
fact, the entire assessment of the ter
minal city is only a small fraction
greater than the gain alone of the
Qaeen City during the past year.
