The enforced tearing away of the
buildings wrecked by the fire of last
Saturday morning has revived the pro-
Jeet of opening Olive street between
Main and Second streets. The effort
has heretofore been made. but at that
time was defeated by certain influences
now removed, one obstacle being the
building now burned. and the site of
which would have been taken by the
street as extended. Several citizens
called upon Mayor Durant yesterday.
urging him to take some initiatOry steps
in the matter, but though he of course
would do nothing officially, yet individ-
ually he would strongly favor the
proposed improvement, which would
give the only feasible route of commune
cation between Third street and the
South hill, and that part of lower town
lying south of Chestnut street. The
need of the new route is more than ever
emphasized, now that the laying of the
street car tracks has made the corner of
Chestnut and Main are undesirable
turning point, especially for teams
bound west. K. Nj. Coles, whose Second
street property would be largely sacri-
feed by the opening of the street, favors
the scheme enthusiastically, as also does
John Glaspie. who offers to transfer to
Joseph Wolf d lot farther up the street,
in consideration of Mr.. VOLTS sacrifice
of his own lot, which will be required
for the new street. The city council
will be asked to authorize and provide
the formaIities preliminary to the work,
aid to-day paper will be circulated for
signatures pledging enough individual
subscriptions to detray the entire cost
of the Improvement.
