termine the exact center of the ground con-
demned for the library. 1t is proposed to place
the library building squarely in the center of

The District Commissioners are still busily
engaged in the preparation OF the schedule of
streets proposed for improvement next year.
They consult together frequently upon the
streets to be included in the list Col. Ludlow
said to-day that when the Commissioners had
finished the list they would make It public, as
they had nothing to conceal. They were going
