enth Street.
A Small Establishment Which Promises Well
a Park a Necessity-The Progress on
Factories-Demaud for Residences

The action of the city council last
night on the Seventh street grade in
sures the immediate prosecution Of that
work which is to give TO Fort Worth an
other fine driveway, and overcome q
ravine which has heretofore been an OBJ
stacle to progress aud development in
that part of the city. The grade will be
the same width on top as the ordinary
streets OF the city. The extension Of the
grade for the street railway beyond the
city limits is about completed under the
operations of q force OF $50 men. Col.
Robert Mozart says if the electric street
railway system over that line is not the
handsomest thing of that sort in these
parts he will never go before the city
council with a petition again.

or fifteen skilled mechanics drawing pay

tives. The small factory deserves en-
couragemeIt.
