BRIDGEPORT.

Quite great deal of complaint is being
made by the people living along streets IN
KirkwOod and adjacent thereto about the
grade. Some are disposed 70 blame the
present council, but the fact is they have
nothing to do with it and cannot change
the same now The grade on Morgan, Lee,
DeKalb. Marion and Sumpter streets run
ming north and south and the grades on
Whitley and Jacquet streets, running east
and west, were established in 1871 and n
great deal OF property on these streets has
been built in reference thereto. Some peO9
pie, however. have built their houses and
made improvements without finding out
the true grade, and such persons have no
one to blame but themselves. The fact is
the grade on all cross streets must interSect
at the squares, or steps or Offsets would
have to be made either or down at every
corner.
The grade from Whitley street, south to
Jacquet street on Morgan, Lee, Dekalb,
Marion and Sumpter streets will be much
easier than it has been heretofore and when
the grade is made on up the hill in IA uniform
manner, it will prove "a benefit TO those
living up there. The trouble has been
heretofore in Bridgeport, that no attention
was given to an established grade, and the
consequence is the town is all twisted. -
Your neighbours house and lot is either
lower or higher than your own. The coun-
Gil can do snOthing but let the curb go to
grade and then the town will get into no
trouble.
