communication was received from Street Com
mi,sioper DoDGE, recommending measures for the
Relief of the Iotcer portion of BroIdoay. HIS sng-
se.tions are that the sidewalks should be reduced
In width, from vesey-st to tho Bowling Green
TIE great pressure and inconvenience now existing
on The carfiage.way and not upon the sidewalks.
II ia calculated that by the adoption Of this plan
some FIVE feet could be curtalled from each side-
walk throwing ten feet additional into the carriage
way. A reduction Of four feet on the easterly and
Eve feet on the westerly side, would leave htteen
feet for nae on each side-the present width
being now respectively nineteen and twenty
feet Another additional mode OF relief sug
gested by Mr.. Dodge is the rounding OF the
corners OF the sidewalks OF the interesting streets
whereby gain Of about four feet might be OBJ
