RAISING THE STREETS.
The Council VIII Soon Consider tn

The Council VIII Soon Consider the
yexed Problem.
1t is expected that the city council
at its meeting next Friday night viii
take definite action upon the PROPOSE
ton 10 raise the grade OF the streets
conyeFging into Occidental square.
The matter was postponed at last
weeks session until the return OF City
Surveyor scurry from California. He
viii be here, it Is supposed, before Fri
day, and whatever he aud Councilman
Jones. chairman OF the street commit
tee decide upon it Is altogether proha-
bic will be endorsed by the council.
Mr.. j. Al. Thompson. Of the Front
Street Gable Company. is getting in
somewhat of a hurry for the matter to
be settled He is forced 80 eonfine
operations on his road 10 the section
above Cherry street, but he will in a
short time be ready 10 continue con-
struction 20 the terminus. which will
be at the southern boundary of Yes
Ter avenue. on the extension of Front.
Connection will not be made with the
Lake Washington cars.
The builders of the proposed new
Yesler and Scurry blocks ON Front
and Commercial streets, respectively
also want to knew what the council
will decide To do, that they may
govern themselves accordingly. The
raising OF the streets will involve the
elevation OF all the streets on CONNER
eial. on Front and James streets and
Ysaler avenue that are now below the
established grade, and would entail a
very heavy expense. But the question
for the council to determine will be
whether il is not better to make this
improvement now than TO wait for a
time when is will cost even more.
