Events of Today and Evening.
Celebration in Morris Court.
The urgent need nf a pavement,
botli on South Main avenue, from Ox
ford street to tho city line, and on
North Slain avenue, from Howell
street to Cemetery street, has neve
been more fully demonstrated than
during the past two days. The ave
nue nt both these points Is covered
with a thick coat of loose tllrt, and
with the passing of every si 'ot car
and vehicle, the dirt and (lust Is
stirred up and scattered over the
lawns, Into the houses and Into the
eyes of people walking on the street.
In snino places' the dirt. Is six ir
eight inches deep and when stirred
up liy the wind creates a most abomi
nable nuisance. It Is almost unbear
able and tho residents on the street
arc compelled to foiego the pleasure
if sitting on their front porches. tiar
ileit hose has been put in service at
many points, but nothing but a con
tinuous sprinkling will lay the dirt
and dust.
The promoters nf the South Main
avenue pave have met with much op
position on account of the desire for
sower facilities on the street before
the pavement is laid, but now that a
majority of the property owners have
signed for the Improvement, it Is ex
pected the pavement will be laid, even
if the sower pipes are not.
On North Main avenue, the property
owners nro determined to have the
street paved as soon as possible.
The united co-operation of the couu
cllincn nf the Fourth, Fifth. Four
teenth, Fifteenth and Twenty-first
wards is needed to secure these much
needed improvements, and It Is to be
Imped that they will work together
with that end In view.
