Amendment to Regulations Con-
cerning Subdivisions.
WIDTH OF MINOR STREETS
Exception Made w hereOrigina Street

Sixth Street Considered-Lieut.
Amiss Has Instructions Concerning
the Messenger Boys.

Two important changes were made yes
terday in the regulations governing alleys
and minor streets, the first being an
amendment to paragraph 10, the other a
new regulation.
The paragraph noted requires that minor
streets shall not be less than sixty feet in
width. The amendment privides that
when minor streets are extended they shall
not be less than sixty feet wide, except
where the width of the street to be ex-
tended is not less than fifty feet. 1t often
occurs that an extension is desired for
as much as square. and il is not deemed
advisable by the Commissioners that the
extended portion shall be ten feet wider
than the original street.
The amendment referred to requires
that hereafter all subdivisions shall pro.
vide for the location of alleys where
practicable, and where the lots Of such
division are shown to be twenty-five feet
front or less.
The Commissioners propose to decide
as to the practicability of the alley PROPOSE
tion.
