To Thin Out shrubbery.

Park Commissioner Hinchman has
ordered the shrubbery thinned out I'm
Washington parkway between Grand
River.ave. and Safest. This Is done
because OF the complaints OF business
firms on each side OF the parkway
that the growth is too thick to afford
OF view across. One letter received
by the commissioner stated that the
parkway is dangerous because OF the
opportunity for thugs to find shelter
at night In the shrubbery along the
paths to waylay pedestrians crossing
through Automobiles going up or
down the parkway were also unable TO
observe other autos coming on cross
streets. The shrnbbery will be re
moved to Clark Park.
