 Now, another problem may. come when South Lawrence Street Is ex- tended. Its extreme end will be so close to the corresponding, part of Nc Donough Street. that It will be useless to have two streets at this point. Then, sss fS Ga savs ss to 'rSs0s Ss South Lawrence Street, and that's the way 1t might be hereafter with any parallel thoroughfare.
