SOCIAL lists WILL
ELECT COMMITTEE
designations Of Present
Committeeman Asked Be-
cause of Technically.

Varied opinions regarding the appli-
cation of the corrupt practices act to
political organizations whose treasur-
ers are not under bond eventually led
to the passage of a resolution at the
socialist city committee meeting call
ing for the designations of all its mem
bers.
James Kerr, treasurer of the com
mittee had not secured bond, as re-
quired by law, but at the meeting he
stated that inasmuch as the city ticket
had not yet been completed, two coun-
cilmen- at-large and a councilman from
the sixth ward still to be selected, he
did not think it was necessary to file
bond at this time.
The fact that Kerr was not under
bond converted many to the belief that
this might invalidate the legality OF all
the committee members so their resig-
nations were requested. These resig-
nations will be filled Friday and the
first of next month a regular election
of committee officers will be held.
Sunday Wayne county Socialists
held their annual picnic at Jackson
park and over four hundred men and
women attended. In the afternoon
John Grill and Joseph STARTS, promi-
nent Dayton Socialists, spoke. A din
ner was served at noon and in the af-
ternoon there was dancing.

CITY PROPOSES TO
BUILD A BOULEVARD
Construction Would be Made
Under Three-mile-road
Law.
NO ESTIMATE OF COST
One Driveway Would Be
Along River and Other
Through Park.
NO ESTIMATE OF COST

Two boulevards, each several miles
In length, to be constructed by the
township under the three mile-road
law, Is the plan of Attorney Wilfred Jes-
sup, who presented the outline to the
board of works this morning. A ma
jority of the persons affected along
the lines of the proposed boulevards
have already petitioned for them and
have asked that either brick or GEM
ent roadways be used in preference
to macadam.
One of the proposed boulevards, that
on the west bank of Whitewater
river, has been discussed by the board
for more than year, but the city
has not the funds to construct it.
/ 1t is proposed to construct the other
boulevard through Glen Miller park.
+ No estimate has been made of the
cost Of the improvement, but the
money for it will be secured by issu-
ing twenty-year bonds paying 4 or Az
per cent interest.
The boulevards will not be con-
structed of macadam as was originally
planned by the board of works for
the Whitewater boulevard, but will
be permanent roadways,. either of Gem
ent or brick.
1t is proposed to start the Whitewa-
ter boulevard at the Liberty road One
of the features of the plan is that the
boulevard would run over the proposed
south end bridge.
From this point, the boulevard will
gradually ascend the river bank until
is runs along the top of the bluff over
looking the river. At Southwest First
street and the National road, the bou-
levard would leave the bluff and run
under the Main street bridge where
the National road was formerly locat-
ed. On the north side of the bridge it
will again take to the bluffs running
along the parking space to the Doran
bridge. The route of the boulevard
will then be on city streets to Tenth
street. On the north side of the river
a new road will be constructed below
the hospital, running to the New Par
is pike, through the new Hawkins
Lake and Park addition and from there
to Glen Miller park.
The other boulevard will start at
South Sixteenth and e streets, run
ming east on E street to the Henley
road, north on Henley road to the Ma
tional road where it will join the Hol-
larn road into Glen Miller park In
stead of following the Hollarn road,
the boulevard will run straight from
the National road to the Lincoln tab
let in the rear of the park.
