should, it takes In az much Of that por-
ton OF tho city M the presence OF the
numerous railways In that neighboThood
will permit.
If at some future time It shall be-
thought wise TO increase tho longth OF tho
drive II can bo done by starting from the
relief tank near the head Of First South
street and following southwark through
the reservation, passing east OF MI. Olivol
gomelery to tho intersection OF ell her
Thirteenth or Fourteenth Eas, streets on

to Junction with tho old east or west
drive.
In tho meantime the construction a
the shorter route will perhaps cost al

present and will afford drive which vii
serve the purpose for sometime and ad'
init of extension NJ any time and to any
