1t is a great big scheme. The object is
if the plans carry to sell the land along
the creek for sites for manufacturing es-

Plans have been drawn and the city will
before very long be asked to allow the
promoters to change the bed of the creek
and wall it up.
This work would cost, it is estimated by
engineering experts, in the neighborhood
of $4,000. The city spent $4,000 tc wall
up two SQUARES of the creek. but the cost
would be less as the work progresses to
the northward
Those interested already own much
property along the bed of the stream al'd
are buying up more.
There is no doubt as to the fact that

Should the city allow them to cary out
