THE soUTHsIDE STREETS OF THE CITY.
The question of street lines Is again raised
on Franklin street. That street, which was
laid out by Alexandrias executive in 17s4-s5,
is designed to be wide as Washings Ton street,
100 feet. But although laid out over century
ago 1t Is still in grass, and could. with verv
little cost, be parked and made very handsome;
in fact, the most desirable street in the CITY
for residences. 1t is alleged that some Of the
fences encroach on the street, and Superin-
tendent Dole has given notice for their re-
moval. There is some demand that the super
intendent shall tear down the fence, but this
he declines to do. This is not
the first time. BY many. that the
subject of the south line of this street has en-
gagged attention. On the 10th Of May. 1902 the
council made an order on the subject as fol-
lows: The committee appointed to inquire
what streets within the limits of the corpora
ton now shut should be opened made report
that they are Of opinion that the following
should be opened, viz, ROYAL southwark az far
as Church street. &c. Whereupon the said re-
port is concurred in, and 1t is ordered that the
parties concerned have ninety days notice in
writing for the removal of their fences" This
thirty days notice was given three times thirty
years ago and the fences still remain.
