PETITIONERS WANT
HIGHLAND PAVED.
Ask Improvements From Fort
Street to Bridge Over the
Belt Line.

Petitions are being circulated by
property owners in Highland Avenue
for the repaving of the thorough
fare from Fort Street to the bridge
over the belt line Of the Southern
Railway.
This portion of Highland Avenue
was paved with Belgian blocks about
20 years ago.
IF anyone can spend a night in
Highland Avenue from Fort Street
to the bridge without being awaken
ed a dozen times they are deaf"
said a resident. The sewer depart
ment has torn up the paving several
times and replaced it. The water
works department has torn up the
paving and replaced it many times.
The gas company has torn it up in
Vulnerable times. The telephone
company has also took a turn at
tearing up the paving. until 1t is as
uneven and rough as the hide of a
politician and as noisy as a Fourth
Of July orator. Why, even the street
cars have become infected with tho
noise microbe-especially those in the
early morning. A drum corps in full
operation would be soothing In its
quietnesS to Highland Avenue at al
most any hour of the day.
And this leads me to remark that
1t is only a question Of q short time
until a viaduct will be built over
the Butler Street dip, making the
ending of Highland Avenue at Pied
mont and Harris Streets. This Is
another improvement which will be
taken up just as soon as the street
Is repaved with a smooth paving.
The importance of Highland Avenue
is greater than that of almost any
other street on the North Side next
to Peachtree, and 1t will be good
business to repave the street and
build the viaduct across dafktown."
