T EL- U common. council q plan, for, the future layout of streets which, if carried into l effect; will result in uniform streets ] that add to the attractfveness4 of new cities or the new sections of old cities, l and will make impossible in the future such crooked streets. as sDarrow, 1 Orchard, and many others in different l sections of the. city, where building l lots have been laid, out in away that 1 would produce the most building sites and without reeard to street lines.
