came to actually getting signatures
and laying out the boulevard. And
then it was discovered that while the
great majority were in favor of the
project and expected to donate the
necessary land, there were others who
were also in favor but who expected
to be we'll paid for their land. AS there
is no money behind the project, this
is another of the beautiful projects
that died a-bOrnin'.
