upon the grading of Moneta avenue
from Vernon to Fifty-frst street. and
the property owners again petitioned
the board for permission to do the work
by private contract thus shortening
the work by two months for compile
ton of the street. When finished Mo-
meta avenue will make a direct extern
sion of Main street and will be a wide,
through boulevard of. several miles to
the city line.
