Stove Manufacturers Talking of Forming
Trust.
CHICAGO, Ill, Feb. THE members
of the National Stove Manufacturers
Association this morning considered the
question of forming trust. The matter
came up in the report OF the commit
tee on consolidation, which explained
that it had looked into the matter
from all points and had arrived at the
conclusion that it would be a benefit.
The main trouble was that there were
too many organizations to make a cue
cess at the start. and it was therefore
necessary that the large concerns con-
solidate at first, and then, as soon as
success was assured, take in the smaller
ones. The report was adopted with but
little discussion.

Now while the City Council has taken
steps 20 establish a correct and uniform
grade of the streets of this city it is
hoped that those improvements, at least
on a few of the most important and
most travelled streets, which are so
much wanting and have been desired
and requested from time to time by an
enduring public with marvellous pa
thence, will be made, and those streets
be put into shape and condition which
will cause them to be no longer an objec-
ton to travel and n disgrace to the city.
lis a matter of fact that State street and
Broadway are of the most important
streets in the city and by right ought to
be kept in proper condition. While
State street is and ought to be by its
location along the principal public
buildings as well as by its natural adj
vantage the finest and most convenient
driveway of the city, Broadway is the
entering street to the business and mer-
camille portion of the city.
AS it now is, State street only needs
grading at least from Centre street to
Sd North street and the surplus ground
could we'll be used on Broadway, filing
up the grade and such places where, as
it is now, the water is gathering after
every rain, thereby forming a cesspool
which is as injurious to health as well
as Objectionable to travel. If after
grading these streets the City Council
give order to have proper shade trees
planted and sidewalks laid, State street
will be among the finest driveways in
the state, presenting q pleasing sight
to the stranger that comes to look over
the town as well as being a credit and
an ornament to the city generally.
While it may not be advisable at
present to spend the finances Of the
city unnecessarily. the above improve
mems would be connected with compa-
ratively little expense and considering
what has been spent on streets and
places Of less Importance than these
above mentioned, the taxpayers of the
city interested particularly on these
streets are certainly entitled to inn
provements on these important and
much travelled oughfares.
