Great Seattle Exposition Opens

Great Seattle Exposition Opens.
Seattle. June Pressing a key
of virgin gold, studded with Alas
kan nuggets, President Taft today
sent signal flashing over the con-
tinent from Washington to Seattle
that caused the gates of magic
city of delight to swing open to a
clamoring crowd of eager thous-
ands. Whistles shrieked and the
guns of the warships in the harbor
doomed as the barriers that held
back the waiting people were open
ed, and the grounds were deluged
with an ocean of humanity that
filled the stately buildings to over
flowing.
There was a mad blare of TOM
toms and trumpets as the hoarse
voiced bankers began their long
spell in front of the attractions on
the Pay Streak.
In the city all street cars we're
stopped for period of two minutes
as the fair opened and business
generally was suspended for that
length of time.

opinion was necessary TO give Bryan

ters were sent out In the hope that
out OF the remedies suggested and the
discussion that would follow. some
thing tangible might crystalIze that
would give the relief so much needed.
The following replies have been re-
ceiyed:
City Editor Eagle: Thoroughly
grade Main street from one end to
the other. put In adequate and perma-
nent drainage sewers. and pave the
street with vitrified brick.

City Editor The Bryan Eagle; Re
plying to your enquiry OF Dec 27th.
asking what would | suggest for max.
ing permanent we'll drained Main
street beg to suggest the following:
Introduce and enforce an ordinance re-
quiring that cement sidewalks only be
allowed on Main street. that each prop
erty owner be required TO build con-
crete cement curb and gutter. all to
engineers specifications; remove all
the plank coverings to drains. such as
the one between Haswells and Edges.
construct first class open concrete
drains In their place and cover them
with curved iron covers: relay the en-
tire surface OF Main street. at least
six inches deep with first class gravel
which I understand can be obtained
at Fountain Switch; construct and
place trash cans for all waste papers
that now accumulate and overflow the
present insufficient drains; enforce the
ordinance. or make one II there is not
one at present against scattering Of
waste paper in the streets and the
fine should be doubled II the offender
is an alderman; have a reserve supply
OF gravel on hand at all times and
when a little weak spot shows up Ia
the street have II patched and not de
lay until the hole becomes too large
These suggestions. | believe. II prop
erly enforced will give US a good
street. Yours truly.

City Editor. Bryan Eagle; In reply
TO yours Of eth inst. rs To what
thought would be tfe best thing "a
do to Main street TO prevent a repcts
tion OF conditions tha: we have had
for the past ten days. would suggest
First. that the street be thoroughly
scraped from tho |. 2 C. n. depot to
the Ice Plant. removing all the accu-
mutation OF mud or sand.
Second. That the same street be
graded. also all cross streets from the
II. & 7. c. r. X. to Bryan street.
Third. That all these streets be
treated to n coat OF gravel or crushed
rock.
Fourth, That stone OF concrete step
ping stones be placed at five crossings
on Main street.
This may cost more than | think
for and the City may not be able to do
IL. But there should be. II the city

done for these streets.
