Washington Street Improvement. The Town Board, at their special session Tuesday evening, settled the question of the Washington street improvement matter by deciding to improve the full width of the street from the bridge to the Makeever House, and to make a 25 foot grade the rest of the way to Division street. They also decided that the corporation should bear half of the total expense and that the same rule should be followed in all street improvements, hereafter. A very fair and just way of settling the matter. The sewer on the south side of the street will be proceeded with at once, but new bids will probably be asked for, on the macadamizing, and in the meantima the Board will investigate the methods of street improvement in some neigh* boring towns.
