EXTEND THE coRpoRArE LIMITS

Since the spirit of Improvement has
paid q visit TO Providence. the suburb:
west aud south oftown have caught
on with wonderful vigor. A large
number Of desirable and costly dwell.
ings have been PUT up and the neces.
siiy Of extending the corporate limits
has been given expression to BY
several of The owners of the new
houses we refer to. They, as we are
informed, desire to have the benefits
Of the efficient police protection afford
ed by the town ordinances as they are
now faithfully enforced. This they
are certainly entitled to after the
necessary preliminaries are passed to
make the extention legal under the
laws aud town charter.
We are most decidedly in favor of
TIE lines being Strengthened out OH
The south side aud extended westward
TO Tensas bayou aud confidently ask,
Why not? We will cheerfully give
space tor the Insertion .of any reasons
that may exist in opposition TO the
proposed extention. m
Some of the primo movers IN
the progress and improvements now
successfully being carried out, suggest
that an avenue Of ample width be sur
veyed and staked out along the con-
tinuaiiou of First street, or what lie
now known as Court House street.
with shade trees along the sidewalks,
TO make a promenade for pedestrians,
while the main avenue would be a de-
lightful drive as far as Tensas and re-
turn. 1t might be named Tensas
avenue, Lake avenue, or perhaps more
appropriately, Providence avenue.
The suggestion is not only practicable,
but is a very desirable one, for the
reasons that it would contribute
largely to the healthful recreation aud
innocent enjoyment of our people.
We respectfully and earnestly call
the attention of the Body Corporate
and the people generally TO this mat
ter, il is strictly in line with the march
of progress now afoot in this place,
and should be carefully and wisely
considered, for whatever contributes
to human enjoyment during its brief
stay on this mundane sphere is bound
to be desirable aud worthy of accom-
plishment.
