St. Frances dc Sales Church is to be low
cred 46 feet, and other points in decreasing
proportion. The lowering of the Catholic
Church, and the removal Of the adjoining
cemetery, which contains nearly 5000
corpses, are among the most formidable
obstacles of the enterprise. The district
proposed to be reduced contains about 4j
acres. No less than SO persons are inter-
estcd in the matter. The area Of the Mill
