Street Before City Council.

The action of the city government.
Tuesday evening, to referring the fol-
lowing order, to he committee on
highways with power to act practically
settles the location of the Augusta
shoe factory on the piece of land on
Gage street, as herein described:
Ordered, That the gully on the east
side of Gage street extension where ii
is proposed to locate a shoe factory be
filled within the limits of the street to
the present grade of the street-as far
as the shoe factory company fill and
south of that; that the easterly side
of the street be widened sufficiently to
cover the slope not more than two feet
provided the shoe company locate their
factory on said street and make fill
between the street and the railroad
track.
Previous to the passing of the order
Hon. II. NJ. Heath infinitely described
the condition of the property where it
is proposed to locate. Commencing
with the bluff on the left hand side of
the road going south, at the steep
descent, the land will extend across the
ravine a distance Of 1876 feet.
This will give room for a factory to
be $50 feet in length and $50 feet in
depth. The factory will he of wood,

The ravine, it should be understood,
is not to be entirely filed in by the
company or city either But each will
do its agreed part to the extent neces-
sary for the building. the latter t.

to the south of the site.
The cost to the city is estimated to be
only $500. What filling that cannot be
obtained from the knoll at the north,
will be availa bic, it is understood for
the carting, from the land of w. S.
Martin and Ernest Libby on Gage
street, a short distance away.
1t is estimated that it will be neces-
sary to fill in 200 yards.
