OBJECT TO IMPROVEMENTS.
An Obstacle in the Way of Beautifying
Neville Island.

Neville Island.
Two Neville Islanders are kicking against the
proposed boulevard down the center of the
island They are Captain Crow and Mr.. Waters.
A hearing on exceptions fled was had in the
office of Iams q Brock. they and K. @. Bigham,
for the exceptants, and G. E. Cornelius, for the
road. Captain Crow and Henry Hahn were
the original exceptants, and it is said that Mr..
Waters was originally in favor, but changed his
mind when it was proposed to run the road
somewhat diagonally through his land
There being no doubt of the power of the
pushers to get the road through. the matter re-
solves itself into a question of damages. In
the neighborhood of McKee's Rocks a question
arose as to the power of the Court to order the
opening of the road to a width of 40 feet over
the line of the old road, which is but 80 feet
wide, but the people on that section of the road
saw the advantage it would be to their property
and agreed to the cession of the seven feet
needed.
The approaches to the county bridge at the
upper part OF the island are nearly completed,
so nearly that lightlfladen teams can make
the connection. "
