Opposition to the extension or streets
in the Northwest does not extend TO all
property owners. Some or them seem TO be
willing to take their chances on getting
tile nliIlions-S13,O 100000 estimated by
Mr.. Chaplin Brownie pay for lands to be
taken for streets in some other way than by
lieve the benefits of having the streets
made would be sufficient return. In
fact there is a suspicion that most of them
would be perfectly satisfied to get the
streets, after they are dedicated, graded,
and made at public expense. The talk of
SIS, 900, 900 to pay for lands for streets
is considered to be used upon the theory
that il very much is asked, it leaves Con-
gress n chance to cut down and much Will
be secured.
Mr.. C. G. Glover, OF Riggs & Co., who man

He is ready to dedicate ground in certain
localities there as soon as the streets are
determined upon.
