The Dallas city council is proceed
ing with the movement for better
streets in an earnest and business-li like
way that promises the very best
results for the city. Having first
secured a quarry Of basaltic rock that
has no superior for roadmaking pur-
poses, the officers are now investigat-
ing the respective merits of the various
rock-crushers and road rollers on the
market, with view Of buying the
very best machinery to be had. 1t is
to be hoped that they may see their
way clear to install a crusher and
improve at least portion of the prin-
cipal business streets before another
rainy season begins. The traffic on
Dallas streets is constantly growing
heavier, and unless some improve
ment is made this summer and fall,
the mud will be deeper next winter
than ever before. Out in the residence
portion of town, considerable prepar-
atory work in the way of grading and
leveling will have to be done before
the streets will he ready for the rock,
but the improvement of these streets is
of minor importance to the work
needed in the business district. Sew
eral blocks on Main, Court and Mill
streets are already in good condition
for paving, and Washington and
Church streets leading down from the
Southern Pacific depot can be graded
and placed in readiness for the
macadam at slight expense. If this
work can be done before the rainy sea-
son sets in, the change for the better
in Dallas principal thoroughfares
next winter will be we'll worth all that
the effort may cost.
