BOULEVARD PROBLEM
CONFRONTS COUNCIL
WILTSHIRE RESIDENTS OBJECT TO
HEAVY TRAFFIC
Board of Public Works Refuses to
Put West Adams Street
on the Restricted
lat

The boulevard committee of the city
council will have it's first work to per-
form because of two reports made yes
terday by the board of public works.
The first recommends that Wiltshire
boulevard, from Benton to Western
avenue, be boulevardized, but refuses
to so declare for West Adams street,
between Main and Vermont avenue.
The council decided to withhold ac-
ton until it hears from it's committee.
The boards reports were as follows:
Regarding petition No. 200, from
Charles G. Andrews ct al, asking that
Wiltshire boulevard, from Benton bou-
levard to the west city limits, be desig-
mated and declared a boulevard and
that heavy traffic thereon be prohibited,
we recommend that the same be grant
ed as to that portion of the said boule-
ward from Benton boulevard to West
ern avenue, and that your honorable
body direct the city attorney to present
to you the necessary ordinance declsr-
ing Wiltshire boulevard to be set aside
for boulevard purposes from Benton
boulevard to the west line of Western
avenue. This is an extension of the
present boulevard east of Benton bou-
levard.
petition No. 81. from r. c. Miner ct
al, asking that West Adams street, be-
tween Main street and Vermont avenue,
be declared boulevard and that the
necessary ordinance be adopted to place
said street in the list of boulevards and
forbid heavy teaming thereon. The
board does net regard the condition of
Adams street, from Hoover street to
Vermont avenue, as the proper condi-
ton in which the street should be to be
accepted as boulevard. We therefore
cannot recommend favorable action on
the petition"

Solemnly DR.. Day imposed the fol-
lowing marriage VOW
1--WE have met in no ordinary circum-
stances, and in the thronging of mem
ories most precious. We are here to
celebrate a golden wedding. Radiant,
royal words: words which never meant
more than they do at this minute.
THE fail and the flint lock, with a
thousand fashions, have had had their
day and fed before the more fitting.
Not so, marriage Not so, home. Pas
sion flashes. Love lasts. Listenl This
groom and BRIDE with their record of
fifty years, are still in their honey
moon. You felt it as you entered this
presence. 1t is in this atmosphere.
Beloved, 1858 and 1908, with all the
throbbing years between, greet you.
This floral coronation whispers to you
of your Fathers benediction. In the
corporation of this distinguished COM
pany, this city and southland, citizen
and official the school and the schol-
arly club, the social circle and the
church, with other personal fellowships,
greet you; congratulate you.
FIFTY years ago you ciaSpeu ndnuS
in anticipation. VIII you now clasp
these same right hands in remem-
brance?
Norman have these fifty years of
married life been worth living? Were
you back half a century. would you
repeat the vows with which in 1858 you
welded Anna? Anna have these ffty
years brought what they promised
when you stood at the altar with the
man of your choice in the bloom of
your early womanhood? Were you
once more on that memorable twenty
third of March, 1858, would you trust
fully repeat with Norman your mar
riage covenant?
Friends. here is welded life kept in
perennial freshness by mutual fidelity,
and a. home whose indwelling spirit has
made it the rock washed winter but
mistaken by the shock. In the pres
ence of God and of this listening as
sembly | declare that true marriage is
not, has not been, and will not be
failure On this husband and on this
wife, blessed of God, beloved of men,
may the smile of the Lord rest ever
more"
