Mor e than eighty per i. of the property owners affected by the proposed improvement on Harrison street have signed th e remonstrance, and the improvement of this street will undoubtedly be defeated. The paving of a part of Main street has developed a fight and it is not certain at this time whether the remonstrators have a majority of the. property owners or not. No remonstrance has been made on Decatur street. A figllfr 1 will also he made on Washington and railroad streets, and the probabilities are that the improvement will be defeated.
