TINE WIDENING 0F CHURCH

When the electric road service was

gested the widening of Church street
from its junction with Charlotte to the
oity limits, by narrowing the sidewalks,
few feet on both sides. If the city
has an ownership of its pavements, this
II seems would be simple matter, and
Its execution would result IN great
benefit to the, thoroughfare and the
owners OF property.
The resolution OF Councilman Cooke.
looking to its construction, ia a pro
gressive step and every effort should be
made to render it success. Church
street has great future before it. 1t
will always be the main thorou ,hfare
OF tho city running from south to
north. The owners OF property on the
line OF Its extension, bsyond the CITY
limits to the Indian Poll bridge, should
donate sufiicien frontage 30 as to secure
handsome street, 50 to 100 feet wide.
1t will greatly enhance the value of
their property, and it would be well if
Bar. Cooke would embrace in his reso
luton a conference with the owners of
the lands in question with this object
in view.

Norfolk shonld apply these com.

opportunity to build up and to
increase her population. "1'he
Greater Norfolk" can become an
accomplished fact 1t requires will

make q special effort in the wsy of pro.

Kansas City has push, energy, enter.

prise any one to hear that it has reach
ed the 500, 0G0 notch in the time named.

Norfolk might profit by the sugges

Sunset In tho City.

Above tho town monstrous wheel Is turning,
With glowing spoltes of red,
Low In the west its fiery axle burning.
And, lost amid tho spaces overhead.
vague white moth. the moon. is luttering.
Above the town an azure sea is flowing,
Mid long peninsulas OF shining sand;
From opal pearl the moon is growing.
Dropped like shell upon the changing
strand.
Within tho town the streets grow strange and
haunted, trH
And dark against the western lakes of green
The buildings change 10 temples, and unwont.
Shadows and sounds creep In where day has
been.
Within the town tho lamps OF sin ure tarine,
POOR foolish men that know not what We arel
Tired traffic still upon his feet Is faring-
Two lovers meet and kiss and watch n star
Richard lie Gallienne.
