| VOTE To DECIDE
BROAD ST. PAVING
If DR.. Kraemer FaVors 1t Wood
Block Pavement Will Be
Laid.

The fate of wood block paving for
Broad street hinges on the vote OF
DR.. Charles F. Kraemer. He is non

that paving is assured.
In an endeavor to induce the Board
of Works TO pass the Broad street
wood block pavement bill over the
veto of Mayor Haussling, Moses
Plaut, representing the North Broad
Street Merchants Association, ap-
peared before the board today
I'VE don't feel satisfied that the
Mayor is right in this instance" he
said
I'VE think that we are right in our
demand that Broad street be repaved
with wood block. Eighty per cent.
of the merchants along Broad street
are in favor of wood blocks and have
signed a petition to that effect.
MANY of those quoted by Com
missioner Kraemer as opposed TO the
wood block pavement have signed
the petition in favor of wood paving.
Among those who advocate wood
paving for Broad street are Forrest
Dryden. of the Prudential; Franklin

various other individuals and promi-
merit organizations.
Frederick Ward. also of the North
