East End People After Viaduct Across
 Cotton Belt

The old question of an Ohio street viaduct has been revi.ed and is arous- ing very much interest among the people. Such yiadnct is very much needed. as fifteen or twenty tracks cross Ohio street at Third and Fourth avenues. IL is very probable that q vaduct will be constructed in the near future although othing authori tf.tive has been given out. All the people attending churches in the east end must cross these tracks. Also children attending the first ward school are compelled to go backwards and forward several times a day over this danger point Il is question which should arouse the interest of every citizen as the viaduct should be constructed at once. The people in inc east end nre exceedingly anxious that such a structure should be built at oncn. and are doing every thing in their power to secure the yiaduct. Tho Ohio street school people are rorv much concerned about the via =durt and # seems as if they will soon bp rewarded with the yiaduct.
