0SITI0N OUT OF DIFFERENCE
TO THE MAYOR

Alderman Stolz asks The Journal
to correct its statement that he voted
in favor Of a full-width bridge on
South Commercial street. He wishes
US to state that he did not vote for
a 99-foot bridge, but, out of Difference
and respect for the mayor, he re-
mr;ned silent. He does not wish his
silence to be construed as a vote for
the 99-foot wide bridge. This may
be taken to mean that he will vote
for the Eldridge plan to have a &c..
