iTi,,ance Committee on Friday night. IN
reference TO the condition Of the streets.
has been the subject OF much favorable
comment by citizens generally
AR. Morton was quite emphatic in his
advocacy of good streets for Manchester,
and he expressed the opinion that 4 sufii-
,u,ent amount OF money should be ap-
propr;ared TO put ra,e streets in re-
spectacle cordition, and went so far as
TO say that the sum of $4,000 should be
appropriated for that purpose Inc gen
eral opinion is that a systematic 1nethoo
OF permanent improvements should De
started and kept up until the entire CITY
had been improved. Mr.. Martins action
has been commended. and the citizens
generally hope that 1t may not be long
before some action may be taken in the
matter.
