A Plan for the Building Up
of the City.
' . i ' ... ; "
At the meeting of the Street Com
mittee this morning Mcshi-s. William
lloylan and James Hoy lan requested
the Committee to take np the matter
of filling in Hargett street at the
west, end aud extending the. street on
to the city limits. They outlined the
wishes of those interested and stated
that there are at present a u umber of
gentlemen who are anxious to pur
chase lots near Koylnu Avenue and
Ilargett street, mterescling point, and
that as soon as the street from t Jr
city is filled m aud Ihe proper im
provement made a number of hand
some residences, will be erected by
some of the most prominent gentle
men in Raleigh.
It was further stated by a member
of the committee that Superintei.dent
Day, of the State Penitentiary, is
anxious tor Ilargett street to be
opened to the city limits that there
may be a more direct mute from the
Penitentiary to the city than b.v the
present use of . Harrison avenue to
Hilsboro street, and that if the city
will open up its part the Penitentiary
will complete the road, to the gate and
will place macadam to the city limits.
This will ninke a driveway that will,
be a great-. improvement to the west
ern Mirt of the city and will make
the' residential section thus opened
.evejiJNaue-4e!iirabU!-Anioiig thnsti.it
is said who contemplate building
handsome residences on the lltn-gcit
street extension are Captain Day. Mr.
Arendell. Genei-ul Hoke, M- ii;iii--.
and Mr. Thomnsj .
Only about three hundred feet beyond
the Intersecting point of Hargett and
Boylan Avenue la the city boundary line,
and it is proposed to make this extension
and open up this section at once. The
werk of filling in Hargett street will be
carried on as soon as practicable and the
dirt from the hill will be used in the val
ley below. When It Is found possible the
street will be macadamized within the
city llinltB and thus the new section made
attractive.
Alderman Cooke requested the Street
Committee to macadamize Bast Cabarrus
street, and it was decided to do this as
soon as the work now In progress Is com
pleted. The gas house branch is to be
made larger, and a culvert placed over
Canon street. The other matters taken
up by the eotumtltoe are mentioned In
their report published In another column.
' THE MEETING TONIGHT
Stockholders to Perfect Orgainzation
and Elect Their Directors
Tonight in Metropolitan Hall the fifty
stockholders In the Ruleigh Athletic Asso
ciation will perfect organization, adopt
by laws and elect directors to manage the
affairs of the company. The meeting will
be one of peculiar interest to Raleigh, and
will mark a step forward In Athletic life
in the State that may yet prove one of
the greatest successes that, have been ac
complished . in Athletic lines , in North
Carolina. . .
The fifty shares of ten dollars each
were taken before sun down yesterday,
and a number of others later asked to be
given shares. The success with .which
they have met the proposition to have a
ball team bere during the summer, has
been even greater than was expected by
the most enthusiastic, and If wise selec
tions are made tonight and the directors
to look after the interest of athletics here
are selected from the list of men who will
show their interest and Is willing to give
a part of their time to the work of the
association, it is not improbable that
this will be the first step toward the- es
tablishing of a State baseball league of
home talent, and the institutions here of
a gymnasium and other athletic special
ties that, will be of untold good for the
men of Raleigh.
The meeting will be called to order as
soon after 8 o'clock as possible, and it Is

will be. presented to the Board of Al
dermen at the meeting tnnieht, and
in addition to Ihe contents of the re
port as printed herewith will go the
outline ot new work to lie taken up
as defined by the members of the com
mittee at an important meeting held
this morning. . t
Hargett stree is to filled in at. the
west end, with a view in the near
future to open Jiovlan avenue further
south until it reaches Cabarrus, Le
noir and South streets, and makes a
thoroughfare from West Raleigh to
the Insane Asylum. Kast Cabarrus
street is to be macadamized, the cause
of .complaint from the Has house
branch is to be lemoved, and other
improvements are to be made that
will meet with general approval ami
obtain fur the committee the comim-n-IThtuiirof
atlnost "every citizen.
The portion of the report to be
added to that herewith published will
say in part:
Vo recommend that the following
streets be .created assessment districts
and ihat they be 'iiucadnmized as sgoit
as possible consistent with work here
tofore mapped out. and that the pro
perty owners on these streets be no
tified accordingly in compliance witli
the provisions of the city charier:
Cabarrus street from Fayetteville

Blood worth from .ehern avenue i
to Morgan street.
The '.matter of enlarging the gas
house branch culvert. ynhieli was re
ferred to ns. we recommend that the
Street Commissioner be '.allowed Jo
straighten the branch at Ihe' bend, us
ing tlie. lumber already there, which
we think can be done at slight cost,
probably
The report of the committee is as
follows:
To the. Honorable Mayor and Board of
Aldermen:
Your Committee on Streets submit
herewith the following report for the
month of April:
The weather in tlie first part of the
month was so unsettled, and we had
such continuous showers of rain that
we were retarded very much in prose
cuting the work on Ihe streets.--. The
last week or ten days in the month
showed an improvement, and we were
ahle to push the work forward wllh.
some good results, which we will lay
out before you later on in this report.
In our last report -.to this Board we
recommended that the Street Commit
tee be authorized to proceed to have
good brick pavements put down on
all sidewalks which had been graded
and curbed at the expense of the prop
erty owners where ther had been no
tified to put, down these sidewalks
and had failed to do nn: The Board
adopted our recommendation, and we
commenced at once to have these
pavements put down all over the city.
We shall continue tins work until
every sidewalk in the city, which has
been graded and curbed has good
brick pavements thereon in accord
ance with our regular plan of improve
ment. We t)lso stated in our Inst re
port that it was our purpose -to do as
little grading as 'possible in the fur
tore and to bend all of our energies
in pushing forward the macadam as
rapidly as possible. We believe that
every street which has been nlrendy
grnded and improved -should be ma
cadamized and completed before any
other work is commenced, and that
only such grading ns is absolutely ne
cessary in shaping Hp' and pushing
forward the work already in hand
should be, undertaken nt present.
There is always n certain union nt of
grading which must necessarily be
done, such as grading for macadam,
shauing up sidewalks which have al
ready bean curbed and getting them
reaily for the pavements and other
work of a like nature.
We have increased our facilities for
crushing stone i.t the rok nunrry
and we are. now getting out neniiy
twice as much crnshed stone as v.e
ever did before, consequent h wt can
push forward the work of mucndMiii.-.-ing
the streets nearly twice as fits' as
it was formerly done
We believe that within -ihe nrvt .10
or fiO dnys we-wiU be well t, with
the macadam and that r;?ariv everv
street which is now lo:-i tip and is
necessarily in a bad condition will be
well improved. If i$ absolutely- ne
cessary when grading a. street and
getting it ready for permanent1 im
pi-ovements .to inconvenience the property-
owners on that street yft Jinte
but it is hoped that the ciWes will
bear with us patiently, lieenuic it' Is
an undisputed 'fact that everV street,
which wo have worked upon Sip -t
the nresent time has been wonderful
ly improved and the residents on
these streets have recognized this
fact after the completion of the work,
and some, of those who complained
most loudly while the work was go
ing on were the greatest admirers of
the. work after its completion.
.We teel thoroughly satisfied after
consultation with expert, engineers
and those who have studied the (pies
tions of street improvements most
carefully that we are pursuing the
right course, and we usk tin public
to suspend judgment until this work
is (unshed.
We feel that we cannot eoiiipliuii'iit
too highly our elficicnt Sweet ( om
missioner. Air. . .. Itiake, who is in
thorough accord with us in ihe work
and to whom the niosi of tin- credit
fur this good work is due.
Kver.v one who comes to our city- is
surprised with, the wonderful im
provements going on I ere ami they
admire the neatness and bcnity ot
our streets. Only recently ;i ..gcnilei
nun li'imi Maine who hml visited

time to induce the Seaboard Air Line

covering the diamond and those who
have seen both teams on the field
Hay 'that the game is to be n close
one. The close gutiie yesterday be
tween Trinity College al Durham and
ihe Maryland boys, in -which the visi
tors came off losers by one run. is cnn
sidered n key to tlie. situation and to
day the two teams are consiiler j
nbout equal.
In sporting circles betting is even
and during the 'morning there were
numbers', ready to 'wager that the
Maryland boys would take off the
honors.. Later in the day the Bed
and White enthusiastic supporters
came to town and caused the talk" to
die down n little with a quieting tune
of confidence and money.
The line tip of the two teams will
be. the same for the Maryland boys
as on yesterday, with two exceptions:
the same for' the Agricultural and
Mechanical College as in the game
against Horner's Schorl, with one ex
ception. The teams began playing
ball at 4 o'clock with the Farmer
