West DEBORAH Improvement.

The residents along Maple Avenue,
the street on the west side running
between the two bridges, contemplate
an improvement which if carried out
will make that thoroughfare beauti.
full boulevard. They are considering
asking the city council to establish a
permanent grade for the street and to
order curbing constructed on both
sides so as to leave the street proper
thirty feet in width. The cost of the
curbing of course would be paid by
the property owners. This would
give them an opportunity to seed and
beautify the parking between the side
walk and the curb something after the
manner now being done on Washing
ton street, and with the beautiful
trees already on that street it would
soon become the handsomest residence
district of the city. The expectation
is also to provide for the improvement
of the street, we understand.
