TO BBEEAUTIFY
CITY STREET
Highland Residents Want to
Live on the Most Beauti-
full ThOrOUghfare
WILL PAY ONE THIRD
OF THE IMPROVEMENT

There is a movement on foot TO make
Seventeenth stret, between Woodlawn
and Mt. Salm avenues the most beau
tiful thoroughfare in the city.
To accomplish this the property
owners themselves propose to bear a
part Of the cost of curbing and paw
ing the street They are interested
to the extent that they have assessed
themselves 81 per running foot to-
ward defraying the cost of curbing
and laying the new street pavement.
II is estimated that the share Of
the cost of the improvements the prop.
erty owners will bear will be about
one-third the total.
The Wilmington and Philadelphia
Traction Company has a lne in
that thoroughfare and must pay its
share Of the cost of paving which
will be about one-third. thus leaving
oue-third to be boru by the Street and
Sewer Department. Just what mate.
rial will be used has not yet been de-
cided upon, but It is probable that it
will be bitulithic.
The Street and Sewer Department
recently widened the sidewalks there
by extending them six fee. into the
roadway. This will permit Of parking
and when the improvements are nm
ished il is said the street will be the
most beautiful in the city. Al least
the people in that street say il will and
/ from indications they will not be far
wrong.
The idea of property owners paying
a share Of the cost of street paving IN
I front o their properties Is not en-
tirely new, many cities having such
a law. There is no ordinance here
however, making It a matter of com
4 pulsion, and the property owners
along Seventeenth street are doing il
as a mater Of civic pride.

OFGREAT INTEREST

Commencement exercises of the
grammar and high school classes of
the Friends School were presented
this morning to large and enthusi-

The special feature o. the program
was a historic three-act nlay based
upon the supposition Of visit made
by Columbus to the land discovered
by him.

Many familiar characters represen-
tative of the various periods, and
seemingly strangely out of place in
these present days we're easily re-
cognized.
Columbus" Lyman Satterwaite)
was almost dumbfound al the start

much enjoyment from the change.

Miss Jaidee was a charming
daughter of the Revolution" in the
Boston Tea Party which was real
istically given in Act H. The un-
usually fine rendition Of the familiar
Revolutionary story carried one faI
far back to the days of long ago
when hardship and dissension was
the rule rather than the exception

A number Of choruses introducer

OF the general effect.
