Two Important Streets Thst Should Be Improved Immediately. Attention has been called to the 1m portance of Improving Exchange street from Seventeenth street to the Clat sop mllL AH of the water mains and hydrants are on this street, and there Is absolutely no Are protection for prop erty on Commercial street from Seven teenth to the mill. If a fire should oc cur, the fire department would be pow erless tq cope with it, as there Is no chance of getting water. Thousands of dollars worth of property might be destroyed. All of this can be averted by improving Exchange street. Another street that should receive the Immediate consideration of the council Is Eighth street from Franklin avenue to Toung's boy, This stfreet Is unsafe for travel. It 1 the thoroughfare by which all the farmers from the Lewis and Clark and Toungs river reach the city. Several accidents have secured there the post week, and several wagons have been broken. The result is that unless the street Is improved the farmers will have to come to Astoria In boats. With the present condition of the streets, all the residence property In that section of the city Is practically valueless. Lots that arc worth $500, would not sell for $100, whereas, If the street was. Improved, there would be no trouble to dispose of lots at their actual value. The common council should take this r matter under consideration, and provide a street for the farmers to reach Astoria. The treet, when Im proved hould be widened. What there is of a street, is Impassable, a team have to wait on the top of the hill until teams arrive at a turn-out so they can pas. . ' Church Notice.
