MERITS OF CENTER STREET AND

GREENE AND McREERY
ARE THE TWO ADVOCATES
Greene Takes the Affirmative and
Argue. in Behalf Of Center Street.
Mecreery Alleges Third Avenue is
the Proper Loeation-ouestion Still
an Open One, No Verdict Being Given.

The relative merits OF Center street
posed yiaduct over all three or two of
the three railroads entering the city
was the subject Of debate given before
an audience Of about 100 men under
the auspices Of the brotherhood Of the
'Congreg attonal church Monday night
The debaters were Mr.. Merritt Greene,
who advocated the subject from the af-
,frmative or Center street standpoint.
.and MI. r. w. McCreery, who argued
tho negative or Third avenue site.
The exact question was Resolved
that the best interests Of our city and
surrounding country demand that the
proposed viaduct be built on Center
lstreet rather than Third avenue
No Vote; Debate Draw.
BY arrangement with the speakers II
was mutually agreed to let the argu-
tments go as they lay" without YER
dict or decision being asked from? the
audience, no judges having been APP
POINTED. This prevented parttsars from
expressing by vote the site that they
5preferred. Even without q decision the
debate proved highly successful, if for
mo other reason than it furnished an
for the public expression
of arguments in favor of both viaduct
sites.
alr. Greene. having the affirmative,
opened the debate and had a few min
utes for rebuttal His main argument
was followed by one from Third
avenue standpoint by Mr.. AcCreery.
Argued With Viaduct History.
Nj. Greene's argument was in the
main along the line of local viaduct
history, which had its beginning at the
time that a local council attempted to
secure a yiaduct. The effort came to

nothing when the state railroad COM
missioners supported the contention OF
the railroads that the viaduct was not
necessary.
MI. Greene argued from the stand
point OF what he thought would be for
the benefit of the most people, ana
therefore he preferred the Center street
site. He was ready to admit that II the
location of the viaduct were to be put
along the route taken for the transpor-
tation of wholesalers. Joooers, ana
manufacturers, no doubt Third avenue
should be the site
Is Best Location.
He contended that Center street had
the advantage in location because all
three roads could DE 'spanned. and that
me cost for damages 10 property.
which the city must pay, would be
much less than on Third avenue. es-
pecially / tthe viaduct on the latter
street PASSED over the Great Western.
He argued that this difference in
damages was as s40,0o compared with
$1,000. He alleged that the Center
street route was the route taken by
the people living south OF the city, and
that anything that contributed 10 their
welfare would in a corresponding
n easure add to the welfare OF the city.

T~oIstoi's Son Very Bitter.

st. Petersburg Russia, Now. %
Count Leo Tolstoi publishes a bitter
.denunciatiOn of Count Tschertoff, the
intimate friend and literary agent of
the late Count Tolstoi. The son de-
clares thai Tschertoff was the worst
enemy that his father had in all edu-
Gated Russia and the civilized world
and that he was directly guilty Of
the tragedy Of Yasnaya, POliana.
The malign influence of Tschertoff,'
writes Count Leo, caused the pre-
mature death of my father, his super
human sufferings and separation from
his family"
But for his literary agent the son
adds, his father would have lived for
many years peacefully at Yasnaya,
Poliana, with his family who loved
him and whom he loved so devotedly.
The arrival of Tschcrtoff was the be-
ginning of the end.
