Npf would shade the driveway on hot summer after
Moons But this was not its best feature. That
was its wonderful economy. liberal estimate. he
soa placed the cost at 81 O32 209. Besides the city
owned six seventies Of the land required and he
serted II could be used for other purpose on ac
count OF the high bluT. II would be impossible to
rse the waterfront for commercial purposes because
there was no outlet. There would be no cross
streets on the high bluff, they could not be graded
down. The building OF the driveway would furnish
dumping place for 100000 cubic yards of ashes
and street refuse.
"In nv opinion" said the Mayor, after using the
foregoing arguments, "there could be no better place
for q speedway"
Other things provided by the plans include
sidewalk twenty feet in width between the bluff and
the roadws and another sidewalk I've feet wide
along the outer edge, TO be protected by a strong
and high railing.
