AND CHICAGO BoULEvARDs IN
FAVOR OF THREE STREETS is
WARMLY coMeATTEp.

Thirty residents of the Park Hill
district out Woodward-ave. gathered
In the council committee room Mon
day morning to give expression to
their hostility to the new plat pro.
posed for the Boston boulevard and
Chicago boulevard territory. The ap.
zeal OF the street opening committee
members that they get together and
reach an agreement with the Newber,
rs estate proved fruitless. the dissent.

council chamber to form an organiza.
ton In opposition TO any change In

The tendency of the property-own.
ers seemed to blame the Detroit
Real Estate Investment Co. for hav.
ing pictured to them an ideal resi-.
dence section, when selling lots. and
neglecting to bind the agreement with
the necessary legal formalities. The
sale OF the 4. W. Voigt property To
the Newberry estate gave the latter
unrestricted control of the portion of
Park Hill which was not yet sold to
individual owners.
One after another. the property
owners expressed themselves as op.
posed to any plan to do away with
the two boulevards and substitute
three streets similar to others in the
nGighborhood
Those boulevards were actually
decided to the city and we strongly
oppose their being vacated" declared
Fred Holt. THE city is crying for
more parks and here we find a prop.

have"
Charles ID. Bennett declared that
persons who bought on streets ad-
poining the two proposed boulevards
did 80 with the understanding that
this portion Of the city was to have
distinct individuality, each street
having its own ornamental entrance
from Woodward-ave. and all being re-
stricted as to building and other regu-
lations.
Henry p. Bergman was chosen
chairman OF the residents meeting
and he appointed the following to act
as a committee in opposing any
change in the street plan Of that Sec
ton: Fred Holt. Grin p. Gulley, Nal
colmn McGregor, A. Y. Malcomson
and w. II. Erwin.
Mayor-elect Breitmeyer told the
rroperty-owners that he favored keep
ing the boulevards as they are, thus
making a connecting link between
Hamilton boulevard and future
boulevard extension of Russell-st.
Fred p. Smith told the property.
owners that the Newberry estate will
consent TO placing the same regula-
tons and restrictions upon these pro-
posed streets as are now in effect on
Lcngfellow and other adjoining av-
enues.
The matter OF the city's accepting
or rejecting the new plat will go over
to the new council, the special ses-
sion Of the street opening committee
being the last one of the year.
