An Improvement MIR. FERGUSON VIII Ask
the Council to Make.

Councilman +. H. Ferguson. Jr.. Of JEFF
fcrson Ward. has conceived a big scheme
which he will urge the City Council to ex-
ccute.
1, Is his idea TO bridge Broad street from
the FIRST Baptist churchto lwenty-seCOnd
street. distance of nine squares.
He wants the structure 10 be made OF
iron. and have separate spaces Tor street.
cars. carriages and pedestrians.
The work VIII cost a great deal OF money,
but Mr.. FERGUSON thinks IT could not be
spent 10 better advantage, a. II would
greatly enhance the yalu1 OF property III
the East End.
Persons living on Church and Union
hills very often complain Of the steep hills
they have 10 climb IN going TO the central
or western part of the city, and the pro
posed bridge would open mp nice, level
route.
II Is Mr.. Fergusson's idea TO have steps
leading from the bridge to the Chesapeake
and Ohio depot.
lie will bring the matter TO the attention
of the Council at the next meeting of the
lower branch.
The Councilman thinks. as the value of
real estate has increased nearly $1,000
i'm the city, and as the bonded debt can
therefore be increased Sl,O0O,OJO, the city
can well Afford 10 spend the money for this
work.
