Ploughing. Grading and curbing Of Streets -
More Sidewalks TO be Laid.
A LIGnT man, on his rounds this morn
ing, learned the following improvements
have been made and are going on in the
city: All the new turning gates in the
parks are finished and placed in position,
and South street, which is nearing COM
pletion, will make a very substantial
street. A foot bridge, nearly 30 feet in
length, is all but completed on Arsenal
street. Acequia street, from the corner
of Houston street to the High school, is
being put in good travelling condition,
and new bridge is being put on North
and South streets their full width.
Matagorda, Center, Victoria and part
of South streets are being ploughed and
graded. Rusk street, from East Com
merce to South street, has been ploughed
down to grade with new curb. Side
walks are being constructed on Avenue
G, mostly by the city, and citizens living
on LATTE and Goliad streets will short
ly be asked to comply with the ordinance
requiring pavements to be laid down by
owners. Ploughing and scrap
ing was to have begun this morning,
and Peach street will be drained. 4
brush gang, consisting of about three
men, has been hired to cut brush on the
streets that have not yet been cut out
