Improving Port Arthur Avenue.

Mayor Whayne is personally over seeing and assisting in cutting ditch in the alley between Campbell and Armour streets just north of Port Ar thur avenue to prevent the water from running across lots in portion of that block. He is also having a culvert cut across Port Arthur avenue to allow the water to pass off. and grading the street up at that point. When the rownsite company graded Port Arthur this place was simply filled in with rock and dirt. During heavy rains the water washed over this fill, tearing out the roadbed and after the high water sub bsided a pond of stagnant water re- mained above the fill. MT. Whayne is also using the city team in hauling rock picked up in Janssen park and having them dumped into the lot, he has just purchased on which this pond of water has stood. Mir. Whayne will probably pay portion of the expense of thls work as decided by the council, as he is receiving some private benefits therefrom.
