Matters Up Mt Next Meeting of

Grade crossings are dangerous, and

The White Bluff shell road should be

in the country
At a meeting of the Improvement
Committee and Advisory Board of the
South Side Administration Club, held
last night in the office of DR.. G. H.
Harmon, a South Side alderman, these
two points were made. In each case
a resolution was adopted.
The action of the South Side Club,
which has three representatives in City
Council means that both questions will
come up at the meeting of Council
Wednesday afternoon, and that some
decisive action is certain to be taken.
While both matters are of considerable
interest to the residents of all sections
of the city, they are of vital Importance
to those living in that part of the city
known as the South Side.
Against Grade Crossings.
The resolution touching the subject
of grade crossings follows 1t is the
desire of this club to have Aldermen
Grayson, Glatigny and Harmon, rep
resentatives OF the South Side, use
their utmost endeavors to further the
resolution looking toward the abolish
ing of the grade crossing at Gwinnett
street and such other streets as may
be decided upon in the future.
The Improvement Committee of the
South Side Administration Club will
use it's influence with City Council to
accomplish the adjustment OF the
grade crossing at the earliest posi-
bic time, in that we consider the grade
crossing dangerous and against the
best interests of taxpayers and citi-
zens.
Want Shell Road.
Inc members Oh the fAuNlSOAJ
mittee not only put themselves and
the club on record as being in favor OF
the purchasing of the White Blur
shell road from the Vernon Shell Road
Company, but suggested that the
street be Strengthened, widened and
beautified and made a boulevard sec
ond to none in the country. After the
purchase has been made the matter of
Transforming the street into boule-
ward will be taken up and pushed.
The following resolutions was pass
ed with reference to the proposed pur-
chase of the shell road: We consider
that the purchase of the White Bluff
road would be of great advantage not
only to the people of the South Side,
but to the general public, and ask that
City Council do it's full share In maxi
ing the purchase, and that the alder
men from the South Side prepare res
olutions looking to the accomplish
ment of this desire on the part of the
Sou h Side and the public.
Other matters of interest to the
South Side We're briefly discussed and
will be taken up later. 1t is the in
tention of the club to work to have the
coal chute of the Atlantic Coast Line
removed so that Waldburg street can
be opened into Collinsville. This i'm
provement has been agitated for
long while, ard the Advisory Board
intends to take it up and If possible
push the plan through.
