NEW YORK, April 5--Mr. Frohman, OF
the I,vceum Theatre, where oscar Wilde's
p,ay. "An Ideal HUSBAND" is now run
ming, has decided, on account of the ter

tracts have been cancelled in order to

NEW ROAD To BALLARD.
City and suburb street Committees Get
Together and Agree on Plan.

1t is probable that the proposed roadway
between this city and Ballard Will be
built before many months. As result or
a conference between members Of the Sc
attic council and of the Ballard council,
and an inspection OF the ground, the Bal
lard council has taken action. Its COM
mittee reported the inspection with the
Seattle councilmen. and said Seattle eX-
pected TO pay for its portion OF the road
from the general fund. Billiards. general
fund is not large enough 10 do that, and
the improvement, Mr.. Winsor said, IL
made. would have to be charged TO the
abutting property. The city engineer was
Instructed to furnish an estimate Of cost,
and the city attorney TO investigate the
method of extending the street through
unplatted property within the city limits.
The inspection of the ground between
Fremont and Ballard was made for Sc
attic by the street committees of both
houses and Mayor Phelps. The proposed
plank road VIII be an extension of Kill
bourne avenue. and will follow the Lake
Union outlet, passing through Ross and
connecting with a thoroughfare at Bal
lard. Heretofore the road 10 Ballard in
winter has been impossible, and resi-
dents. 10 reach Seattle. have b--T obliged
TO follow eithsr the street car or the rail-
road tracks.
