STREET IMPROVEMENTS.
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. .
