After a two months vacation, the
West Side board of trade re-convened
last evening, and took up the matter
again of securing a public park and
a viaduct for West Lackawanna ave-
nue.. The former proposition has been
renewed in tangible form, as will be
seen from the appended communica-
ton, but owing to the small attend
ance the board deemed it advisable
to lay the proposition on the table
until the next meeting. when a better
representation Of the board can take
definite action on the matter.
The viaduct ordinance, which will
be introduced in select council to-
morrow evening. was read by Pres-
dent Daniels, and the board put its
stamp of unanimous approval on the
measure. and will send special COM
mittee to the council meeting to fur
ther the proposition. The ordinance
provides for a viaduct the full width
of the street, to be built by the Scran-
ton Railway and Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western companies.
The committee named was r. Fell

of the board since 1t was established,
rendered his resignation to the board,
and it was accepted with regret. He

retired from active public work after
many years of usefulness.
