It gives tho Joubnal much pleasure to note the substantial work that has been in progress on our Btreets for the last fow months. The tiling put down on M ddle street and its grading has proven the efficacy of the undertaking. Of recent years the Bhe'l streets where they are in con stant use had begun to cut up and get in bad fix just after a rainy spell, but now the water is taken elf rapidly through the underground drainage and wherever the tiles have been placed the streets are made much wider and more passable. A force of hands are now at work on Pollock etreet and if possible it ought to be oontinued on every street in the oity that is much used, especially where they are narrow. In some places In tho oity vehioles can scarcely pass without running in the ditch and through the above moans they can be made about twice as wide. Let the work bo carried on until New Berne has first class streets and walks throughout its entire limits. It is one of the greatest needs of the day and we must have them. Other places in the State are recognizing tho importanoe of such a more and they are going about it with seriousness and determi nation and in the majority of instanoes the oost of grading is three and (our times as muoh in other places as with us owing to the level oonditlon of our soil. It was only a short while ago that our citizens defeated a bill for voting improvements but if it ean be carried out as has been started, though slowly, it will have been accomplished io another form.
