City Opening Washington Street
To Complete Ground Floor Plan
The city street force, under the
direction of Capt. J. H. Thigpen, Is
now engaged in improving the block
of Washington street between Lib
erty and Clark in preparation to
opening the adjoining block which
leads Into Government Park.
In the ground floor plan of Mll-
ledgeviile, so wonderfully laid out
by the engineers named to select
the site of Georgia’s permanent capi
tal city, Washington street was to
be a main thruughfare, connecting
capital square with the twenty acre
tract on the cart which was later
to be used for public buildings.
Now the city is carrying out this
original plan and is beautifying the
block east of Liberty street. The
street is being laid off with a park
in the center like the other blocks
on Washington between Wayr.e and
Liberty. The park will be planted
in grass and flowers. The side walks
arc also being improved, widened
nnd graded.
The G. S. C. W. recently purchas
ed a tract of land at the end of
Washington street adjoining the
park and at an early date the street
will be opend loading into the park.
The city has also improved south
Jefferson street and Warren street
between Jefferson and Wayna
Storm sewers have been laid on this
street and the Side walks graded.
