A petition has been received 10y
the city council praying for the inn
provement of Philadelphia street
from Edison to the city dock with
hard surface from Edison to Brad,
ford and from thence To the city
dock with planking. Philadelphia
street Is 100 feet wide, the only
street in the city OF that width, II
is the only street proposed to be
improved To the river thus far. IL
is said to have the best grade of
any street leading TO the river, It's
unusual width gives teamslers an
opportunity to Zigzag from one side
To the other when hauling extra
heavy loads. II should be i'm
proved without a doubt. II the
property will not stand for the inn
provement. we believe few citizens
would object to the general fund
providing the excess. Philadelphia
and Fessenden and possibly Burl-
ington streets are three thorough
fares that must be improved before
we can attain metropolitan pTomi-
nence. II the property owners pay
up TO fifty per cent of the valuation
of their properties in these improve
ments, il is all that should be eX-
peeted of them, all that can be re-
quired. Property owners for other
streets, except in rare instances,
have not paid over fifty per cent of
the valuation of their properties,
aud many less than that. So II
property owners on the three streets
mentioned do that We'll, it does not
seem unreasonable that the city as
a whole should bear the balance OF
the burden, since the whole city
will benefit thereby, We hope to
see Philadelphia street improved
clear to the dock IL would prove a
most magnificent thoroughfare, one
in which all citizens could take
pride in showing visitors. II is a
long step in the right direction
