PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS.
Important Works Which Are
Certain to Enhance
Property Values.

For the past six mouths public improve
management of public affairs caused a
halt in their progress. but now that aat-
ters are running along smoothly, and the
various Boards working in harmony.
there is every indication that much
needed improvements. which have been
hung up and delayed from one cause Or
another, will go through with bells on. "
The effect will be marked on real estate
prices, because of the vast amount of I'M
improved and improved property that will
be benefited Streets will be raised
to grade. and paved, which prop
erty owners peJitioneu for year
ago; other streets will be severed and
territories drained which have had only
the advantages of ditches or short private
drain pipes which carried waste water
and sewage to some other persons prop
erty. The improvements which are TO be
made will encourage building. Sections
of the city which have been neglected for
years will be opened up aud enhanced in
value, and 1t will but require the break
ing of ground on the long list OF i'm
Drovements now pending TO give real es-
tate stronger activity.
NOTABLE IMPROVEMENTS.

opened to Hoboken avenue, if persever-
ance on the part of AssemDlyman Carroll
will accomplish that result Already
property owners In that locality have sue
ceeded in getting the contract awarded
Tor the improvement of the lower part OF
the street.
The street, which is but partly built
upon, is TO be brought to grade and
paved between Henderson street and
Jersey avenue. Edward O'Donnell has
the contract. Mayor Wanser sigued it
on Saturday. Patrick Connolly, Presi-
dent of the Citizens Street improvement
Association, has been appointed inspector.
Another much needed improvement is
the sewering of Charles street between
Nelson aud Summit avenues. The new
sewer will be but seventy feet in length,
but it will cause adjoining property to
assume an additional value of at least
one-third more than 1t has at present.
The contract has been awarded to
Andrew Shaw and work Will be begun as
soon as the frost is out of the ground.
Another sewer which will benefit ana
improve property is in Virginia avenue.
and will be between Bergen and jackson
avenues. The sewer will be 1,100 feet in
length. The contract has been awarded
to Thomas Cavauagh. Work will be be-
gun rs soon as the weather permits.
In Henderson street, between Fifteenth
and Seventeenth streets. sewer is to be
constructed, which will drain territory
that has long suffered from waste water
standing IN the street or over1owing the
cellars. The contract has been awarded
to john Nolan. Work will be begun in
the course of two weeks, weather permit
ting.
Contractor Michael Curley is now wait
ing for the frost to get out Of the ground
to begin with on the Baldwin and Mag
Dolia aUauJ1a 1hAsA SayVarS will
drain Chestnut avenue, Baldwin savenue,
Magnolia avenue, and a section of Pa
vonia avenue.
RAISING BRUNSWICK STREET.
Another Improvement which will place
considerable property in the real estate
market is the raising and grading OF
Brunswick street between Fourth and
Tenth streets. Brunswick street is at
times impossible. The buildings on the
street are of a cheap class and,
because of the lack of improvements.
are q burden TO owners rather than a
source of revenue. The improvement OF
the street will. however. put new value
upon property along the street and ie is
not atssall improbable thatsholders of prop
eruy will erect apartment houses on their
lots. The contract has been awarded to
Henry Byrne and work will be begun as
soon as practicable,
Henry Byrne mas also been awarded the
contract for another improvement. 1t is
the construction OF sewer sin Ocean ave-
nue.. which will extend between Gator
and Warner avenues. Greenyilleites
have been urging the making of this
impi ovement for years. 1t will
drain territory that is now
practically unimproved Work u pom the
sewer will probably be followed by the
erection of a number of buildings
for rental purposes. The above
i to ,ll
been passed upon since the first of the
year, and contractors are merely waiting
for favorable weather with which to
begin work.
