In the space of five years, has grappled with and ‘konquered tlie problem of good stréeta‘ and ancient, innocuous sewerage. Thlo town has macadam- i‘zed, with sand, slag-and broken stone. six miles of streeto, which are solid in all weather. It has drained and sew- ered into a gully two miles bank of the town. crossing a ridge by means of siphons: and all these improvements have cost the property owners only $1.50 pol' front toot. The front lines of rower are of brick. the smaller and Coal and Wood. at Twin Lakélce. without the count of the abutting oradjacentownera.
