ed-Other improvements.

From The World OF Thursday:
South Queen street from the Faux
ner lawn at Boydville to Charles Town
road at the southern boundary line of
the city is now in a worse condition
than it has been for years, and lately
there has been much complaint about
it by people out that way. To remedy
present conditions and make the
street look less like county road the
Board of Affairs has ordered that thor
oughfare to be macadamized at once.
The rough macadam recently put
down on Spring street from Race to
King is being smoothed down by the
steam roller, and when the top dress
ing of stone is put on and rolled the
street will be immensely improved.
The Board of Affairs is also having
hard brick crossing laid across Por-
ter avenue at West King street.
An unusual amount of concrete
pavement is being put down in various
sections of town and the concrete
workers were never buster. But still
many more ought to be put down, es-
pecially along some of the principal
streets
