Tt is estimated that there will be about five miles of additional im proved street and sidewalk work done this year and the commissioners hope to have these petitions before them so as to let a contract early in March. Sometime ago the commissioners entered into a contract with the J. B. McCrary company, engineers, of At lanta, Ga., to make a complete sur vey of the town for all sfdewalk and street work. They made maps of the city which will be on. file in the town's office in a few weeks. Anyone want ing to build a new home on any of the unimproved streets may see these plans so as to' know the grade and the exact location of the street. L C.
