THE CITY's STREETS.

Some Things That are Being Done
and Some Things That Ought to
be Done.
The work on Broughton street is pro-
crossing slowly. The foundation for the
asphalt paving has been laid on the south
side OF the Coast Line railroad track from
West Broad to Abercorn street. and that
much is apparently ready for the asphalt
There Is, however, no visible signs that
the material is at hand. The railroad
company is paving between its rails with
granite blocks, and its roadway when
completed Will lie in as good condition as
any street railway in the country.
A gentleman from New Orleans, who W as
IN the city last weeS, noted tue prepar a.
tons for laying the aspnalt pavement on
BrOughtOn street. There IS no question
ing tDatit is the best pavement in use"
he said. New Orleans has several miles
OF its streets paved with asphalt, and the
pavement has given perfect satisfaction.
On West Broad street south OF
Liberty, along the liue OF the new sewer,
traps nave been put in at nearly all the
cross streets, and the payements have
been made wider. Wooden curbing has
been put in al the corners, aud it would
certainly be great Improvement TO curb
the payements from Liberty street south
10 Anderson street. II trees were planted
INSIDE the curb West Broad street would
be one Of the hands0mest thOroughfares
liz the city.
In the matter Of street Improvement the
suggestion has been made that the city
put q wooden, brick or stone curbng on
all the streets. This would induce peo-
pie to put down sidewalks, which are
greatly needed on nearly all streets south
of Castor. Gwinnett street ought 10 be
ope ed through the Parade Ground, as
suggested by correspondent in the
MORNING NEWS some time ago. and two
streets running nOrtn and south.
say West Broad and Price,
and the same number south
Of CASTOR, running east and west, should
be paved without delay. IL the city can.
not afford to pave sucn streets their full
width One-half OF the roadway might be
paved at time. This would be great
advantage in hauling heavy loads, and
certainly an advantage TO the hre depart,
ment. There is a general demand for i'm
provements m that part Of the city,which
u virtually cut OF from the lower part by
reason OF the absence OF payements, ant
thc heavy sandy road ways.

The Atlanta Constitution accounts for
Atlanta's defeat on Saturday something
like this; ATLANTA lost by errors game
that she had really won. The errors
were not surprising, as, owing to the
broken up condition Of her team, Sue had
only two men playing 10 their regular
positions, Cline and Moore. Every other
man was out OF his regular place, and
the errors were a matter of course. In
the fifth inning the game was lost by the
failure to take an easy double. The bali
was hit to the pitcher, with a man on
first. He turned to 80 to second, in
ample time for a double, but found no
man. on base, and both runners made
safe before Cline had time to go out OF
short stop to take the ball. Had Stricken
been playing this could not have hap
peued. Still. mis- being crippled is one Of
the chances of the game. Umpire Young,

SAVANNAH, GA, May S.--Editor Morn
ina Ne,cs: l wish to call the attention
OF the members Of the Georgia Historical
Society and the citizens of Savannah gem
orally, through the columns your val
liable journal, TO the following idea, IN
bear fruit upward In tue hearts Of our
people.
The suggestion Is that the members OF
the society and the citizens generally, by
subscription or otherwise, should forth
with raise a sufficient sum Of money, and
commission Mr.. Brandt, the able director
Of the Tellair Academy, 10 proceed TO
Beauv0ir and paint from lie full leagth
portrait OF ex.President Davis,
which IL to be hung on tue walls Of
the picture gallery, 80 that we and our
posterity shall possess an authentic IN
ness Of our world-renOwned eX-presldenl.
h is evident that before the lapse OF many
more years this chance shall be taken
from us, and naught will remain but to
copy from some much less accurate photo.
The city has erected monuments to the
illustrious Revolutionary heroes, Pulaski
and Greene, and las in Council chamber
a iull-length portrait of the noble and
illustrious, the immortal Lee. Let us
then now add On this the picture OF the
COufederacy's first and only President,
and our children, aud the whole South
generally, I'm time 20 come, will thank us
for our wisdom and forethought.
Hoping this idea will meet with your
approval and assistance, give IL 10 the
public. SAVANNAH.
