At the council meeting last nig1a
preliminary steps were taken for thE
opening of West Court street and n
resolution ordering the macadamiziRG

the street from its present terminuE
to the edge Of the city limits. and o.
dered the city engineer to make a sur

of Ash street and West Court. a din
tance of $50 feet. By the openiag
Of Ash street a thoroughfare will b.

baseball grounds.
Before West Court street can be
finaIIv. opened it Is said many TnOEr

secured from all the property owneAr
affected, it is not thought any seriosw
difficulties will be encountered.

ifications were left blank. It called
for the improving of the street. from
