A rRANsCoNTINESTAL BoULEpARp.
Or. John T. NagIe's PIau for Furnishing
Empioyment TO Men Out OF Work.

Or. John T. NasIs's Plau for FurnishinE
Employment TO Men Out or Work.
DR.. John 7. Nagle. Registrar OF Vital StatIs-
tics. came out yesterday with a novel sugges-
tion for furnishing work to the unemploy yed.
He advocated the building OF great trans
continental boulevard to extend from the
Atlantic to the Pacific. in the building OF which
each State through which the boulevard passed
should contribute its share for the employ
ment OF labor.
Il have had the idea In mind for some time"
Dr. NaEle said yesterday. and I feel sure that
gigantic as would be the scheme 1t would pay
In the end. Such q boulevard. laid out with q
trees along its walks, would certainly enhance
ate vicinity. it Would would furnish a drive aqf",
way for the owners OF fast horses all
over the country, and the bicycle riders
would be there by the thousands. There night
time; The boulevard would be one OF the
greatest sights in Christendom. There would
be inns at different points along it's entire
length. Mansions would be built along its
route, too. The construction of such road
way would give employment to hundreds OF
thousands OF workmen and keep them busy
for two years at least
do not believe that 1t is a mere Utopian
dream. Anybody who has been In the city OF
Mexico and has seen the superb boulevard
leading for miles out from that city. with its
giant eucalyptus trees and other monuments,
such q boulevard would be. Enginsers viii
tell you that the idea IL practical. and that the
cost would be nothing compared TO the bsnefit
that would accrue from it's construction"
