* Peachtree Creek Plans.
What can be done to reclaim or
“renovate” Peachtree Creek? More
than a hundred property owners
would like to know. The County
Commissioners have a plan to clear
out the bed and remove driftwood
from the banks. This, they believe,
will prevent to a large extent the
present overflow in the rainy season,
and keep the low places free from
standing water. Mosquitoes won t
have a chance, and as for the sewage
of former days it has been largely
removed by the erection of the Peach
tree Creek disposal plant.
Some time ago the sugestion was
made that the creek be bridged over
for a considerable distance. This
plan met opposition from Eretus Riv
ers, who declared that the city and
the county had so few streams of size
that they should be left exposed to
view.
The main permanent trouble with
Peachtree Creek seems to be that it
is muddy rather than clear. Were it
a stream of sparkling water rather
than a ditch carrying off Georgia red
clay its possibilities would be unlim
ited. If it were a good stream in this
sense the lowlands that now’ border
it could be turned into attractive
park spaces for present and future
generations.
Spring Street Improvement.
Sooner or later there is going to be
a big improvement on Spring street
to make it as much as possible a help
to Peachtree. The proposition to ex
tend Spring northward to Brookw*ood
has already been announced. It rests
where many other good propositions
rest, to be revived later when the
need becomes greater than it is at
present.
Now’ comes the suggestion that
Spring street be turned slightly from
its course as it Strikes Carnegie way
—that a slice be cut from the north
east corner of Cain street (the Gov
ernor’s Mansion lot) and Spring
street be connected up with Cone
street, which now ends at Carnegie
way, and extended across the rail
road tracks by w*ay of a concrete via
duct.
Cone street ends on the south at
Marietta street and it is suggested
that the street be continued. The
viaduct would go straight until the
tracks w*ere crossed and then curve
slightly to the left, or about due south.

This arrangement, it is pointed out,
W’ould make it possible for the via
duct to pass safely to the east of the
W. & A. freight depot, and it w*ould
put a leading thoroughfare one block
closer to the retail district than a
viaduct which jumped from the foot
of the present Spring street. Not
only that, but a first-class, straight-
line thoroughfare would be opened up
for traffic that would otherwise use
Peachtree, and travelers using the
Terminal Station could reach their
North Side homes much more quick
ly than by the circuitous route that
it is now necessary to travel.
