ATLANTIC CITY AFFAIRS.
The improvement of atlantic Are-
nae GiUes Satisfaction.

Atlantic City. Nov. 16 (SpeciaD.-The City
Council has passed a special bond ordinance au-
thorizing the issue Of $4,000 worth of bonds
with which to provide money for brilliant illum-
ination of Atlantic avenue the coming year.
Plans for this work were prepared by New York
landscape architects and will be put into effect
as soon as bonds be printed and sold. This
will give the resort two brilliantly lighted
promenades-the boardwalk and the avenue.
There are few finer streets in the country
than Atlantic avenue. 1t has already been
paved through the greater part Of its length in
the city and the contractors have promised il
Will be entirely completed by December 6. It
is being paved with bitulithic material and
while 1t has been down only a short time it is
giving unusual satisfaction. The merchants
along the avenue have awakened to the fact
that II they want to attract visitors to the busi-
ness portion of the resort they must be up and
doing and TO this end the Business League
mas succeeded in getting merchants all along
that thoroughfare to remove the unsIghtIy
awnings that have stood in front of many
business places. This gives the sidewalks a
Sh lean appearance and adds materially 10 the
looks or the street.
But the improvements are not IN stan An At
!dhtlc avenue. The municipality awarded a CON
eIact on Monday night for the construction of
= 81, ueW ana commodious pavilion at the foot of
Ne" 1ork avenue. This will be for the hare6t
