cofiln was driven tonight IN the shape of
one Of the heaviest remonstrances that
has come. here this session protesting
against the passage of the bill. 1t recites
that there is no necessity OF having the
width of the street increased, as IL Is as
wide at present as most OF the principal
streets OF the city, that the widening OF
the street at public expense would be Tor
the personal benefit of vtry few indi-
viduals and one or two private corpora
tions, that the taxes at present are In ex-
cess OF the city of Philadelphia. The re-
monstrance contains the names, among
others, of the following prominent citl-

push the matter to final end this week,

publican movement are very earnest In
their efforts TO get come kind OF bill in
to shape as soon as possible.

matter, said; at is our intention to fur

tlon. The people want convention, and
they should have one. 1t is to the best
interests OF the State that there should be
changes In the fundamental laws"
