season fifty-fve buildings have either
been completed or are now in the
course of construction in the west end
of the Sixth ward This is nearly six
times the number of new buildings
erected in the other end of the ward.
IF we can secure the necessary sew
ers, street Improvements, better car
service, gas and water extensions and
some other i woyements, we will
have n la Y111T11h6r of
structures built in, the spring, and we
are therefore determined to accomplish
these things this winter.
Want Sewers Under Graded Streets.
eve want sewers laid on all the
graded streets in this section. The
city engineer says that if a contract for
sewers on five or six streets can be let
at once instead of Edoing the work in
little dabS, each lOtEowner will be saw
ed SIS to $25. We will therefore try
and get together and have contracts
for sewers on five or six streets let
in the spring. r,
MANY of our streets need grading
and there are also several which
should be, opened in theI.spring. As
fast as these are opened, we will
strive to have them lighted and have
sewer and water connections put in.
I'VE want gas extensions made on
Orleans, Baker and Cherokee streets,
and if the ordinance proposed. by Cor
poration Attorney Michael carries, we
will secure them, as we have a signer
for about every lao feet Of the 1890
feet extensions we want made.
There is also a movement, on foot
to macadamize Cherokee street, and
some Others streets may also be- inn
proved, but, of course, the. property
owners do not want to do this until
we get the sewer, water and gas,-in. u
I'VE are also working to secure an
eight-room addition to- the Douglas
school, which is badly needed. The
board of school inspectors has decided
to make the improvement if itsean Sc
cure the money! from sthe;s conference
committee. LAS it rests now with the
conference committee, we have ap-
pointed a committee which will push
our cause.
West End of Ward Neglected.
"This section of the city has been
sadly neglected in the past. In fact
we have been almost forgotten, and
the residents. are all unanimously in
favor. >of4eneouraging this association,
through which we hope to gain at least
part of the improvements I'VE want.
We want to make this section up on
the hill a residence section and be-
lieve it ought to be one of the finest
in the city. If the growth we expert
enced this year continues, our hopes
will be realized, for we are getting a
good class of residents.
"Fhe association will also aid the
aldermen and the West Side Improve

the large cars on the South Wabasha.
