Whether this Work Will inspire the owners to erect new and better buildings along the street is not known, but it. is certain that considerable expense will be en tailed even In the work of excavation and it is a question of doubt whether some of the places of business can be saved when the lowering begins. The most ardent advocates of the subway have been those who ' favored the construction not- only for' its bwn jri; trinsicworth 'to: the city, both in the matter of appearance and protection, but in the accruing benefits which wou'd .be derived by : enabling the owners of property along the' avenue to make extensive improvements if they converted' their - holdings -into places of businesa Thevappearance of the buildings and shacks that have lined that part" of ; the street: for. gen erations - has been an eye-sore ' to the progressive ; people - of the community and it is probablya fact that the own ers - of " the property v. have not gone about the business of making ex4enstve improvements in recent years large ly f or the reason ; that they ! antiql pated the lowering of the street and the - building ' of a subway a this pointy BISHOP DENNY'S MORNING TALKS GIVE PLEASURE Morning:.
