facing the east end of Lexington av- 
enue, and widening it a little. The 
matter of widening and practically re- 
building Hesperus avenue extention 
has also received the attention of City 
Engineer Webber. This road is 
about 6000 feet long and leads from 
the square to Freshwater Cove. It is 
proposed to get the abuttors to “sign 
off’ the strips that will have to be

is a question whether to macadam it 
or use gravel as a surface; the latter 
isn ow more favored. Some of the best 
property on the shore will be opened 
up by developing this road.
