A SKELETON PLAN Fol: THE NEW BOARD OF
TRADE
was submitted to the Directors at their last
meeting. It made the dimensions of the
building 175x310 feet. The first floor was to
be devoted to oflices,-a double tier Of them,
with corridor running through the centre
Then came the main hall, eighteen feet above
the sidewalk. The present one is forty feet
above. This hall was to be sixty feet in
hight, and ebout double the size Of the pres
ent one. It was suggested that another
double row of offices be built on the story
above the hall, which would be reached by
elevators. This would not make 4 very high
building, as compared with some Of the
blocks in Eastern cities. Room would also
be provided for the Cali Board. Such
building would cost S7oo, 900 and more.
Among other plans suggested for erad1ng
the restrictions OF the Board of Trade charter
about owning real estate that Of asking the
Legislature to pass n general law allowing
Boards of Trade to hold property. A Especial
session is to be held to make general ap-
portionment, and the proposed lazy for the
Board Of Trade could be covered III his proc

Of the effort now making TO build 4 bridge

mel untler the river here, and let that continue
to be used for heavy teams. The bridge
would only Interfere with the entrance to

are for considerable portions of the day coll-
p1etely blocked ut the river with cars anil
teams, and some additional facilities must be
furnished for transit between tho east
and west sides. Washington street is soon
to be make a boulevard to the Central Park,
and, rs Il citizen who has been heavily taxed
for these parks and the boulevard, l want
tile people Of the South Side to have easy
access to them. This is really one Of the
pleasure and health necessities Of tile city.
The new bridge, like the boulevard, should
be used only BY bugEies. carriages, and foot
passengers; and thus, alsn, an opportunity
would be afforded to the West Side people to
reach their business houses without the out
rageous delays 50 common through the busi-
ness season. BY all means let the Washing
ton street bridge become fixed fact at the
earliest day possible. WEST SIDE.
