1t is said Messrs. Geo. A. Mott
man and Allen White will use their
best endeavors to grade Fast Fifth,
from Puget to Central streets.
There has been some opposition COM
ing from few of the abutting prop
erty owners, but it is expected they
will be reconciled to the situation.
Mr.. hoffman has also begun grad
ing on East Sixth. near Central
street, contiguous to his real estate.
Property owners residing further
westward on Sixth street, assert
they will not favor any improve

require large outlay of money with

is nothing connected with the work
like cinch or graft, no advertising
for bids or shaving paper. When
the labor is done the pay is forth
coming.
