Street to be Widened and Extended
New Block Brick Stores to be
Built.

The court house commissioners have
given the town Of Newberry. a street
forty feet wide between the lot pur-
chased, by the court house and the
Crotwell Hotel building. 1t is now
hoped that some time in the near
future this street will be extended
through the Blease and Martin lots
to the Presbyterian church. :,
Some one was asking yesterday
what had become of the court house
commission, and this statement will
probably confirm the fact that they
are still alive.
1t was stated some weeks ago that
Mr.. Milbuan was elected architect
and for the benefit of the curious
public we will state that he is proba-
bly, engaged in the preparation Of the
plans for the building.
A proposition was also made to the
city council on Wednesday night to
extend the street that runs in front
of the Crotwell Hotel and down Law
Range through the burned district to
the railroad, the idea being to carry
out the suggestion, which has been
made several times in the Herald and
News to extend this street under the
railroad track into West End. Mr..
Mower, representing his own property
and Mr.. Burton representing the Car
oliha Manufacturing Company, made
the" proposition to the city council.
The matter will be taken up and no
}oubt arrangements made for the eX-
tension Of this street. This should
be done by all means, but Mr.. Mower
and Mr.. Burton should have coopera-
ted with the other property owners in
widening Main street before the new
store Of Hair and Havird was built.
Another proposition was also made
to the city council on Wednesday,
night for permission to move the two
wooden stores on Main street, the one
occupied by Hill and Sigh and the
other by Paul tombstone, back on
Friend street. This proposition was
granted by the council, and the under
standing is that new brick stores will
take the place of these wooden build
ines on Main street.
