widening of Fulton street. If the street |
IS put through as proposed IL will leave
three parallel streets, Westminster Full !
ton and Washington running through the |
business portion Of the city ut very short |
distances apart and so make it impossible |
for greater depth than ninety feet TO |

Westminster street may be rid OF it's heavy !
traffic, it is suggested that Washington |
street be widened from the City Hall to |
Walker street which could he done at an |
expense much less than that OF the other |
plan.
