tension plan of the District Commissioners

that the new extensiuR would cut off the
direct connection with the proposed boule-
ward. 1t would also, it was said, en-
tirely blockade upper Seventeenth street
at North Park street for a distance OF
over 800 feet, thereby materially de-
creasiug the value of surrounding prop
erty.
A special committee OF three consisting
of Mr. E. W. Woodruff, Dr. A II Baker
and Mr.. E. E. Court were appointed to pre-
pare a petition briefly stating the defects
Of the street extension and, with the
names of a goodly number of Mount
Pleasant citizens attached, tn present the
same before a special board meeting Of
the Commissioners on Thursday next, at
IL a. m. The petition will also ask for
a continuance Of Seventeenth street to
the proposed boulevard. The committee
Will hold another meeting Thursday night,
in the same hall, to learn the effect Of
the petition.
Those present last evening were Mr..
J w Summerville. Mr.. A B. Chatfield,
Mr.. E. w Woodruff. Mr A Il. Bennett,
