Work commenced this morning to grade
the sidewalks on North Travis streets, to
make the crossing Of the Texas s. Pacific
railroad more pleasant and safer to the
citizens who live north. These approaches
have been bad for years, and the council
made an order to erect foot bridges over
the track, few months ago, but when the
bcnts were put up it was discovered
that the approaches would cut
off access to several residences on
either side, so they We're condemned and
taken away.
