Chosen
BOULEVARD FRIENDS
MAY LOSE OUT

At the meeting of the Directors OF
the Street and Sewer Department this
morning Edward W. Cooch, president
of the Concord Heights Company, said
the company would give 5000 toward
having the boulevard paved or having
a part of it paved If the department
would pay for the rest of the work.
Some time ago Fred K. Felt, repre-
senting the company, made proposl-
ton to the board to pave strip along
the boulevard and that the abutting
property owners would pay part oil
the cost. The company is the biggest
property holder along the boulevard
and Mr.. Cooch's proposition is about
all that the department could expect
to get from the property holders. he
was told that the department did not
look favorably on the proposition as
the work on the boulevard would cost
about $4,000.
James B. Oberly attended the meet
ing relative to the repairing of Mil
ler's road He said If the road is
put in proper condition It would not
be necessary to work on tho boule-
yard. Mr.. Oberly has offered TO pay
part of the cost of the work. Com
missioner Pierson, however, suggest
ed that Monroe street from Twenty
ninth 10 Thirty-second streets be paw
ed and Thirty-second street TO Mil
ler's road be put in proper condition.
This is a much shorter route into
the city and il would be cheaper to
pave. The board will look into the
matter and in all probability THIS
route will be selected.
The city forester objected to the
board giving Mrs. R. ]. Baily, who
lives on Riverview avenue between
Delaware avenue and Nineteenth
street. permission to plant four Ori-
entail plain trees.
The forester stated that the trees
were dirty and too large for street
purposes, and other people had been
refused permission to plant them. The
board will further consider the mat
ter.
