The improvements in the way of large new business houses which have recently been made on Limestone and Granard streets and the large business interests which have fol lowed them, makes it necessary for the new conditions to be recognized in a manner suited to their present business importance. In order to do this Birnie and Meadow sbould be opened and extended so as to connect with the Eastern and Western exten sion of Frederick street. By doing this these new business sections would become more accessible to the upper and lower sections of the coutity,would make two pretty streets and open for imporvement and occu pation, new and desirable property right, in the heart of the city. The openingof these two streets have long been desired by the well wishes of our progressive city. Now it is a necessity atfcd we trust that the pro per authorities will give the mattei the attention its importance deserve. The New City Hall.
