1t should he said in connection with
the above recommendations that by
the title Inn Square" is meant the
area covered by the junction of West
ern avenue. State and Grove streets,
also that in the estimate of the work
to be done on Western avenue. If the
construction was that of an ordinary
gravel road the sum of $4,000 per mile
would be sufficient. but the work in
progress will be more expensive be-
cause of the heavy fills to be made. and
the underground work to be done. The
area covered. by the report includes
Western avenue hill, the Grove street
4unction. and Rines and Cony hills.
