MAIN STREET BEING IMPROVED Main street will soon be the principal thoroughfare of the city. The work of Super- visor Durkee is making this street what it should have been years ago, a smooth, beautiful promenade, and as it is contiguous to the lead- ( 46 ) ing hotels and newspaper offices, it is destined in the near future to be the street of the city.
