The paving of Harrison street is now
we'll under way and the contractors ex-
pect to complete it on Monday next. On
account OF the ~treacherous subsoil that
street has caused the city and the prop
erty owners on the street no little
trouble. To prevent a washing out UNI
der the paving a bulkhead has peer
sunk at the head of the street. In ad-
dition to this the approach from the
hills will be graded up with clay, thor
oughly tamped. This, as is we'll known,
is very hard and will undoubtedly give
that point sufficient protection from the
water. The contractors. Messrs. Nc
Adam & Amberg, are receiving many
compliments upon the character of the
work they are doing, not only upon this
street, but upon others embraced in
their contract.
