The plans for a sewer extending along
the boulevard from L~eavenvorth street
south to Poppleton avenue have been eom-
pleted by the city engineer and construction
Of the sewer has been authorized by the
mayor and council. Advertisements for bids
for this work are now being published. and
they will be opened April %. II is likely
that work on the sewer will begin imme-
diatsly afterward. and this. in turn. will
lay the foundation for grading the boule-
ward. In places where the line of the sewer
and that Of the boulevard are not common
the work of grading can begin now.
The boulevard, when completed, will be
about seven miles in length and will extend
from Riverview park to Hauseom park,
thence by a devious course TO Burt street
and finally to Bemis park. It will be a
beautiful driveway, and will serve to re-
deem that portion OF the west side which
lies between the best residence portion and
the main business section OF the city,

The first series OF obstacles In the way OF
the proposed Central boulevard ended yes

DR.. George l. Miller for lots belonging TO
him which had been appropriated by the
city in the interest of the Improvement.
DR.. Miller's was the last OF thirty-two APP
peals taken from the award Of damages
and the settlement enables the park board
to advance to the next series Of difficulties,
which will come when the benefit district
is mapped out and the special taxes levied.
City Attorney Connell, who effected the
settlement with DR.. Miller. said: Thus
far everything has been smooth sailing. as
every suit arising from the proposed boule-
ward has been settled out Of court. l am
now at liberty to hle the deed delivered to
the city by J. NJ. Woolworth, conveying a
considerable number Of lots in Oakhurst for
a park along the boulevard. This deed was
committed to my keeping with the under
standing that it would not be recorded I'M
til all the appeals from the awards had
been disposed Of. The fact that Mr.. Wool
worth now releases me from the obligation
indicates that he considers the boulevard
