The Crossing of the s., F. and W.

an Effort to Be Made to Have the
Street Opened at Once.
City Marshal Wade has completed the
work of opening Bull. Drayton, Abercorn,
Lincoln and Fourth streets through the
Dasher property, and will begin work to-
morrow morning opening the north and
south streets, and the east and west
streets between Bull and Habersham
south to Twelfth street. which is the city
limits. He win have all of these streets
opened by the end Of the week, except
through one tract of land. ready for the
street and lane forces to begin grading.
The rlght-of-wav for all of the streets
north and south from and including Bull
the east and west streets between these
boundaries has been acquired by the city,
except through the Glatiguy tract, and
negotiations are pending for a right-of-
way through that property.
The Glatigney tract is south of Thomas
park and extends to Eighth street. Then
comes the Seller tract and after that the
Schwarz, Teynac and Houston tracts,
the right-of-way through all Of which has
been acquired. The lines of the streets
were laid out by the city engineer last
week and Marshal Wade has had force
of hands at work ever since clearing the
way for the grading forces.
READY FOR THE GRADERS
The principal work has been the mov-
ing of trees and fences. Six houses so
far have been removed. These were
small tenements. Two were in the right
of-way for Lincoln street, one in Drayton
street, one in Abercorn and two in Fourth
street. They were removed in a short
space of time and without any difficulty
Only the trees directly in the roadway
have been removed. Thelarge oaks, where
they would not interfere with the grad
ing, have been left standing
Tomorrow the opening of the
streets between Bull and Haber-
sham, around Thomas park. will
be taken up. That will open every
thing up to the Glatigny property Then
will come the Seller property, the first
south Of Eighth street, and extending to
Ninth street In opening through the
Seller property one or two of Mr.. Sellers
greenhouses will have to be removed and
probably some other distinctions. but
south of that there is little to be done
except to knock down the fences and cut
away few trees. The SChwarz tract
through which Ninth street is opened
east and west, and the Teynac property.
through which Tenth street viii be
opened, are practically clear of all OBJ
structions now. The last street to be
opened, Eleventh, is through the Hous-
ton tract
AN IMPORTANT SECTION.
When this work has been completed
and the right-of-way through the Glatig-
ny property has been secured and the
streets opened through it an important
section Of the city south of Anderson
street will be opened to travel.
The next step, and the most important
will be the opening of the streets across
the Savannah Florida and Western rail
ways tracks. Mayor McDonough an
nounced last week that he was going to
see that something is done in this matter
The right-of-way for East Broad street
was secured some time ago except across
the railways tracks, and there is a de-
mand that the street be opened. When
1t has been opened and the streets be-
tween Bull and Habersham are all open
the new section of the city will be in DO
sition to build up at once.
