PLANS FOR
REBUILDING
&st94.
W OF SALEM
Civil Engineer Ashton
To Present Plans
To Citizens

Salem, Mass, July 9.-Tentative
plans for rebuilding the district de-
vsstated by the fire of June 20 have
been prepared by City Engineer George
F. Ashton and public hearings will be
held tomorrow and Monday to obtain
the views of citizens as to the best
methods of reconstruction.
Tho principal object in devising the
plans has been to provide for the gen
eral widening Of all streets and the
main arteries of traffic. The elimination
of all narrow lanes and streets in the
Point district, which before the fire
WAS n close network of narrow streets
crowded with tenement houses, whose
roofs almost overlapped, is another
important feature of the reconstruction
plans.
Boston street, where the fire started, is
to be widened to 20 feet and a new street
will be laid out to Broad street at a uni
form width of 20 feet. In the Point dis
trict the principal alteration proposed if
the widening of Congress street to 100
feet and extending it across the South
river to Bertram square. Another impor-
tant change is the connecting of New
DelDy street WIFI DtlDS street, making
9O-foot thoroughfare to Bertram square,
which will relieve congestion of traffic
in the center of the city
The plans also call for the planting of
1000 shade trees. The superintendent of
shade trees, after consultation with the
Massachusetts Agricultural College, said
heS believed that many of the trees which
were partly burned could be saved.
