Upper Thrl-ave. Is soon to be repaved. but the
residents are anxious that before the work begins
a subway shall be laid The experience of resi-
dents of downtown streets has shown the use
lessness OF attempting to place new pavements
streets which soon torn up again TO prepare
for the construction OF subways. The connections
with the water and mains should also be
made far possible before the pavement is
laid The condition OF the uptown streets has
long been a subject OF complaint Unslghty wires
are strung In all directions, the pavements
the important streets. and the condition OF the
sewers Is In some cases unsatisfactory. As large
amounts OF money soon to be expended In
paving. it is suggested that other improvements
should be made at the same time, SO that the
work done will be lasting.
Some slight changes have been made In the plans
for building the Third-ave bridge. An application
for the appointment of commissioners to acquire
the land Will be made next week. The northern
approach Will extend to One-hundred \ nd thirty
