STREET IMPROVEMENT

Anent our editorial OF a lew days
since appealing to property owners
TO take steps TO lay permanent side
walks IN front of their property. we
want 10 again bring this matter and
one or two other matters of similar
character to the attention of our peo-
pie and authorities. With the COM
ing Of spring and the season for work
il is greatly to be hoped that those
of our citizens who can afford the
necessary expense, and there are few
who cannot, will take immediate
steps to have granolithic or cement
sidewalks put down in front of their
places of business and residences.
A wonderful improvement in the APP
pearance of the city would result
from a concerted move on the part
Of property owners along the lines,
and would doubtless increase the
value of the property concerned far
in excess of the amounts expended.
But the Improvement of the side
walks by adjacent owners of real
estate is not all. An equal response
bility for the streets rests on the city
authorities, and the condition of
many of these streets during the
past winter is argument enough in
favor of action. Would it not be
well for the Street Committee to at
tempt to solve the difficult problem
of these improvement by formulating
some permanent and progressive
plan of Improvement for presenta-
ton to the City Council? Once done
aud we believe the Council will make
the necessary provision to carry it
out. Surely with all the gravel and
stone we have convenient to Freder-
icksburg we can improve unsightly
sections of the streets. which in them
selves are bad advertisement for
the city. 1t is well enough to buy
curbing, and we are glad the Coun-
Gil is doing this, but instead Of a
patch work street system the Street
Committee could formulate a plan
for the gradual permanent improve
ment of our thoroughfares.
We do not need to lay granite
blocks on our unpaved streets, or to
put down macadam; the improve
ment can be made by the use of
gravel and crushed stone. aided by
intelligent grading to and from the
center to the sides. a roller and good
drainage. While the counties are
making plans for permanent road
improvement, in which we are all in
terested. wouldn't it be well for the
city of Fredericksburg to get rid of
such eye-sores as the mud, for in
stance, on upper Main street,
through the operation of similar
plans? The matter is surely worth
the serious consideration of the
Street Committee and the Council.
