An erroneous statement has been
published in Astoria relative to the
public thoroughfare bill. II is stated
that It is incorporated in the Tuttle
charter. This Is false. There is not
single provision either In the Tuttle
or the Burns charter providing for a
public thoroughfare or boulevard. A
separate bill was drawn covering the
public thoroughfare, with the UNDER
standing of both Senator Tuttie and
Representatives Burns and Laws. that
II would not be introduced unless APP
proved by the common council. The
bill was made a separate measure, pre-
scented to the common council and they
refused to indorse II, consequently
there is no public thoroughfare bill OF
any kind pending before the legisla-
ture.
