the committee appointed by the taxpayers Of
North-st. TO investigate In regard to boulevard
and other improvements met on Thursday night
In the offices OF Emmett & Van Zem, and de-
cided in favor of boulevard. The improvement
will extend from the gates OF Rochelle Park to
Cooper's Corners distance of three miles The
boulevard is to be not wider than leo feet and not
less than 50. 1t will be constructed of macadam
with wide grass plots In the centre and also have
room for doube-track trolley road In order to
construct the boulevard, 1t will be necessary to
condemn large amount of property and to re-
move houses. Little opposition Is expected. The
Paine monument. as 1t stands now. Is the site
OF the proposed boulevard. 1t is proposed to make
the thoroughfare at this point very wide. so that
the monument will stand In the centre and can be
nclosed within an iron railing. The entire ex-
pensc Of the improvement Is estimated at about
$4,000

TO THE NORTH POLE.

It's said that preparations are practic-
ally completed, and that Professor An
dree's balloon route to the north pole will
be opened for business on the oath of this
month. The expedition will set sail in
its airship from Spitzbergen, where a sup
ply of provisions for two years has bsen
deposited. The balloon will carry enough
provisions to last the party two months.
but no such time as that is expected to be
required. In fact, if the wind holds up to
its ordinary speed. it will take only forty
eight hours to reach the pole from Spitz-
bergen. The balloon is so constructed that
it will be free from climatic influences,
and it will sustain the load it is intended
to carry for two years before any weak
spots are likely to be developed.
The airship will be under the control of
those in charge by means of sails so ar
ranged that they will act very perfectly
for steering apparatus. In addition to
sails there will be ropes of great length
which can be used to ''trail," If occasion
should require. The party will carry a
boat and several sIedges and every needed
instrument for scientific observation. Pro-
fessor Andree has every confidence in the
success of the expedition. Naturally those
who will undertake the perilous expedi-
tion are not only fearless men, but are
sanguine that the balloon route is alto
gether feasible. But whether complete
success attends the expedition or not an
immense amount of valuable information
will have been gained concerning a now
unknown and hitherto unknowable region
of which the north pole is the center.
