BOARD or TRADE AND CITY
COUNCIL FAVOR MORE PARK
AGE, PAVING AND suRsTAN-
TIAL sEAWALL.

Widening Beach street ito a uni
form width of 100 feet from the edge
OF the curb to the seaWall. widening
the paving to a uniform width of so
feet along the business section and
installing a substantial seawall the
full length of Beach street, is the
Recommendation which will be made
by the joint committees of the
board of trade and city council.
This is the result of an examina-
ton made recently by the members
or the board of trade committee and
the special committee Of aldermen,
and these recommendation will be
made as a part of the improvements
to be paid for with the proposed
bond Issue for sewerage and other
improvements.
The recommendation will be that
Beach street and parkage shall be
made uniform width OF 100 feet
from South street north to Fairview
Iavenue. In some places the street
and parkage are now more than 100
feet wide. and in others the width
| is considerable less than this. This
viii require considerable filling in
some places. and the proposition is
! to have a substantial seawall marl
the east line OF the parkage. The
Beach street paving now has ar
average width of 35 feet, and the
recommendation of this joint com
nlittee will be to extend the width O
the paving to SO feet along the bust
ness section, probably from Cottage
avenue to Second avenue.
An effort will be made to obtain
estimates on the cost soon.
