Tribune has insisted that the simplest and most
practicable method Of providing it is by extending
Ccntrc-st. and repaying that thorougharc. AT

better than the proposed Improvement of Elm-st.
which has been pcrsistently advocated by certain
persons whose property would BE- benefited By
the costly widening urged. One decided point OF
