tain milk, when tested. has the re-
quired amount Of milk solids. but the
percentage of fat Is very low. II has
been found that this State OF affairs is
due TO the addition of condensed
SKINNED milk after the cream has been
removed by the dealer. The report
says that the dealer practiclng this
fraud cannot be successfully prosecut-
ed, because II cannot be proved that
the cream has been removed, and the
addition OF the condensed skinned
milk is not an addition Of "a foreign
substance" prohibited by statute. II
appears that a concern in New York
Is doing thriving business furnishing
dealers with the condensed skinned
milk. The number OF cans of milk
received by dealers in Boston in 1895
was 9.S5G50O, Of which there were
sold s.05S732, each can containing SA

A GREAT BOULEVARD
1T WILL LEAD OUT OF THE CITY OF
NEW YORK

VIII Cost SEQ 900, 000--Must BE Finished
within Three Years-No Roads WIN
Cross IL at Grade-An Ideal Highway
For Rider, Bicyclist walker.
Gotham will some day-and not
very faroff day either-possess one OF
the most famous thoroughfares IN the
world. Quietly and irresistibly as tho
operation of tho tides and other forces
Of nature, New York has proceeded to
ward the realization of one Of its ineyi-
table improyements---a grand concourse
or boulevard extending from the Harlem
river to Mosholu parkway. 1t will be a
grand drive and promenade connecting
the park systems Of the metropolis ms
enterprise when realized will surpass
even the famous boulevards Of Paris.
1t is to run for = miles along the
river, dividing the Hudson river and
Long Island sound, beginning at the in
tersection Of One Hundred and Sixty
first street and Mott avenue, its north
ern terminus being Mosholu parkway,
Just east Of jerome avenue. No streets
viii cross it at grade but all will go
beneath ii, a result that is particularly
practicable by the naturally elevated
situation Of this unique highway. Its
cost is to be about $40, 600, 600, So, 000,-
600 Of which, it is estimated, will be
required for the acquisition Of right OF
way.
The time allowed for its construction
is three years Within year, according
10 the engineers in charge, the work
will be well under way. The last legis-
lature gave the city authorities in charge
Of such improvements all the law need
ed to condemn property, make prelimi-
nary surveys and perfect arrangements
/ for prosecuting the work, which is to be
unique among the famous streets of the
earth.
A glance at the plans prepared shows
| that the width of the concourse will be
1872 feet, and every inch Of this space
will be utilized so as to make the thor
oughfare attractive. In the rough sketch.
es which have been made the engineer
has provided for a sidewalk on either
side. Next to each sidewalk will be an
ordinary driveway. The speedways viii
be in the middle, flanked ON either side
by promenade.
1t is likely that this plan will be al
tered so as to provide two bride paths
skirting the speedways. Mosholu park
way, INFO which the concourse will run
is GOO feet wide. 1t connects Van Cort
landt and Bronx parks. Another wild,
street connects Bronx park and Pelham
Manor park. 1t will thus be seen tina
from the new bridge over the Harlem
the concourse will provide a splendit
means Of communication with the grea
parks in north New York
There will be at least five rows O
trees the entire length of the thorough
fare. The fifteen streets, which will rul
beneath the concourse, will also connec
with it, but will not cross the mail
street. This magnificent highway vii
be a paradise for bicyclists, the possess
ors Of high steppers and those folk VIII
still stick to the good old fashioned con
stitutional. And its relations, logica
and material to the further develop
ment of up town New York cannot wei
well be overestimated.- New York Cor
