TO RESET cUReINo.

begin the work Of resetting curbing on
Main street preparatory TO widening
that thoroughfare. The commission which
was appointed decided on the plans and
then II was up To the abutting property
owners to cut off the fronts OF their es
idteS 50 ttldt the city cOulu 90 It's snare.
The most OF this has been done. Several
buildings have been torn down and others
have been changed over. Some OF the
work iss till under way. but from the
junction of Dexter street 10 the corner
Of Park place. where II joins Main street
near the fire sgtation the city can do its
part of the work of real widening.
Just soon this work is completed
the Rhode Island company will lay dou-
BILE tracks in the street and this will com
plete the double tracking for the full
length Of this thoroughfare. After this
length OF sidewalk has been narrowed
then the public works department will
turn its attention to the curbing from
the Benedict house TO Main street square
All Of the buildings except that OF the
New Idea store have been made ready |
for this and there appears TO be no rea
son fur further delay In this matter.
The sidewalks here are to be reduced |
to a uniform width OF Q feet. which. while |
rather narrow. Is all that can possibly be
given and allow OF the passage Of teams
between the curbing and the electric
cars.
