The streets Of New-York are gradually under
going change for the better. and smooth and
noiseless pave nents becoming the rule and not
the exception. they were only n few years ago
The Improvement In that respect IS looked upon by
most people as one of the results Of the reform ad-
ministration and. although much has been done in
that direction. further improvements are contcm-
plated and New-York bids fair to become one OF
the best paved streets In the world. The maps pub
nshed herewith show how much smooth pavement
existed when the present administration began. ana
how much has been added under General Coins 5
dill ection.
When the present administration assumed charge
cf the affairs OF the city many of the streets In the
northern part OF the island were laid with mac
adam pavement. The map shows where this pave
rnent has been taken up in places and replaced
with asphalt.
