NE " PLANS FOR
IVY APPROVED
Council Committee to Recon-
mend Revised Regrade, De-
spite ST, 900 Higher Cost.

Providing a rise Of four feet at Baker
street and a fall of two feet at Peach
tree street, new profile Of the pro-
posed Ivy street regrade has been drawn
by Chief of Construction Clayton and
will be urged upon the city council at
the next regular meeting.
The change In the grade. made neces-
sary 10 protect the city from liability
for damage to the property OF the Sa-
cred Heart church. was approved by
the street committee yesterday. The
new scheme will raise the grade of Ivy
street in front Of the Sacred Heart
property to within six inches Of the
floor level of the church. 1t also gives
the street a slope TO take the water into
Peachtree street
The street committee approved the
plans after hearing discussions from a
majority of property owners and show
ed a disposition TO adopt any measure
that would meet with the wishes Of the
property holders living in Ivy street be-
tween Peachtree and Baker streets.
The opposition to the new plan, it is
said. will arise from the fact that its
adoption will cost the city $1,000 more
than the plan originally approved.
Under the new plan the city viii b.
forced to build retaining walls north OF
Baker streets, but it is conceded that
these walls will make the street more
attractive
1t is on the additional appropriation

baking is done. Chief Clayton thinks
he has solved the problem and suggests
that the city begin the regrade at De
catur street, plans Of which have been
approved, and continue north to Baker
street. The chief says that the city
Will have the additional 81 600 by the
time the construction department is
ready to proceed with the work north
of Baker street.
Alderman Ragsdale, of the street
committee, suggested that the commit
tee agree to the modification Of the
grade at the church property and pass
II up to council to adjust the grade at
other sections of the street Council
man Smith concurred in this sugges-
tion.
