The work of macadamizing the north end
Of Water street is going rapidly forward and
we think the road bed, when thoroughly
tirmed down, is preferable to the block paw
ing, although not as durable. About eight
rods per day is covered at cost of $50 90.
The total appropriation by the city for this
job was $500 90, but it will certainly take
from $500 to 100000, to perform the
amount of work necessary to be done this
fall to make a good jIb of the very bad piece
of road in that part of the city. A great deal
of heavy teaming for the mills is obliged to
be done over this street, and it should be one
of the best roadbeds in the city.
