Work on Front Street.
One Of the members of the street
committee, In a conversation with the
calumet News recently, expressed the
opinion that steps should be taken
soon towards completing the good
work ON Front street of which the fl
ing OF the ravine and the abolition Of
the old bridge was the main and es-
sential feature. 1t was suggested that
the roadway should be improved. by
maeadamizing, perhaps, strengthening
II between the old bridge and the
county bridge and installing lights
similar TO those on Quincy street.
10 have this done before the time for
holding the big home coming and
semi-centennial in July, would add
greatly to the attractiveness of Han
cock and give a very favorable impress
sion of Hancocks progressiveness and
enterprise TO the thousands of visi-
tors who Will come here for the cele-
bration. Few of the transformations
effected i'm the city during the past ten
years have been more marked or i'm
portant that the improving of Front
street, and If the work is carried for
ward to the extent suggested. 1t will be
one of the most striking features Of
the city's improvements to impress
former residents who will return after
a several years absence.
Other Work Contenn plated.
While no steps have as yet been
taken towards extending the sub-sur-
face conduit system further west on
Quincy street, and the placing under
ground of the remaining telegraph and
telephone wires, it is probable that
something may be done to carry the
work on from it's present terminus at
Mesnard street, making the western
end of Quincy street as attractive as
The eastern section. from Mesnard to

suggested also that the boulevard
lighting system might also be extended
to good advantage. thereby making
Quincy street for its entire length as
far as the railroad crossing. one long
stretch Of beautifully Illuminated
thoroughfare, the most metropolitan
and up to date in the upper peninsula.

Street Improvement.

Residents of East Hancock have
been discussing the matter of having
the streets i'm that section improved.
Last year a movement was started to
have the streets paved with asphalt,
hut after giving the question thorough
consideration many have abandoned
the idea and have been giving atten-
ton and study to the feasibility Of
having macadamized roadways, which
can be laid by the city street force by
means of the road roller purchased last
summer. This road roller during the
time that IL was employed last season
did good work in putting n number of
the city streets in shape, among them
being Center street. Tezcuco and sew
