South Side Improvements Include Leith Street Opening

On the south side improvements proceed with Leith street opening from Hoagland to Webster, under board of works order, with final hearing next Friday. Adjacent lands will be platted for residences once opened, while Hoagland avenue gains brick sidewalks and grading from Pontiac to Killean avenues. Tomorrow council hears a petition to separate South Wayne from the city, and about a mile of sewerage between Wilt street and the Pittsburg tracks to Union street is underway, expected complete by spring. The Allen County Orphans Home moves into a new building with a committeed furniture purchase planned, and Jane street is to be vacated from Leith to Grace. Organ avenue’s opening will unlock land for platting on the extreme south side, as Sunny Side proves useful on slick streets.
