DON'T LIKE THE PLAN.
Conversation on the streets yesterday
on the topic of Councilman NealiS new
viaduct ordinance was not very favor
able to the measure. Here Is state
ment of the opposition: "Mr. Nealis
plan Is not consistent What we want
is a viaduct for the use OF Hyde Park
as "a whole. MIR. Nealis' viaduct would
not offer this. He means to stretch a
bridge diagonally from the entrance to
Nealis court on Robinson street to the
corner of Seventh street and Lacka-
wanna avenue This would he better
for the people of lower Hyde Park than
would Councilman divers lost but
hopeful plan. But what will the resi-
dents of upper Hyde Park do? They
would have to cross the railroad tracks
as of yore People living north of West
lackawanna avenue ana Lafayette
street could not possibly be benefited
by the plan" The West Side board OF
trade is already laying lines for an
other viaduct issue and the board is
out and out for the defeated plan.
