PARKWAY v1ADUCr.


In the Municipal Assembly is pending a bill to
appropriate funds for constructing a viaduct on
Kings Highway over the railroad tracks in Mill
Greek Valley. The money allotted is far from suf-
fcient, but 1t is enough for preliminary work; It
will enable the Street Department to put the strip
at this point the street grade and open the park
way to traffic to and from South St Louis.
Considerable progress has already been made in
improving Kings Highway as an avenue. The road
has been reconstructed along Its central length with
smooth surface pavement and the intention is to
continue the reconstruction northwardy and south
wardly to both terminals. AS funds are available
aesthetic features will he added.
Kings Highway will ultimately he parkway
connecting the cemeteries and the parks and making
them accessible by vehicle from al parts of the city
1t should be one Of the finest driveways in the
world as 1t has all Of the natural advantages and
may be improved at cost relatively Insignificant.
The vaduct south Of Forest Park Is necessary.
It has been needed for years. 1t is needed more
than It is necessary that the Street Depart
ment is willing to compromise its plans for the
time being in order to connect the two stretches of
roadway The bill should be passed speedily so that
construction may be started early next year. Add-
tiOnal appropriations, when funds are available
may be made for the purpose Of improving the via
duct to harmonic with the parkway. The pending
bill is essentially an emergency measure.

As condition FOR satisfactorily low railroad
rates for the Worlds Fair railroad officials insist
upon adequate legislation to prevent the misuse of
excmsionrate tickets. More favorable rates will be
made II protection can be secured.
Captain Boyce has Introduced In the City Coun-
ell bill which would improve the existing munich
Pal law. It prohibits the sale Of nontraDsfefabie
tickets, designating this onense as misdemeanor,
and authorizes the Mayor to revoke a brokers' IL
cense upon personal assurance Of violation.
Az the amendment is understood by officials It
would permit revocation Of q license without pre-

practical advantage. as an INSCRIPTIONS ticket

whether Wood or his enemies right the case has
