Discussion preceding these official
acts brought out the general opinion
OF citizens and committeeman that II
was high time to place on the statute
hook restrictive measures governing
the disposal OF automobiles In the con
gcsted downtown districts. Among tho
suggestions that We're offered was ono
which would require tho parking OF

an angie Of 10 degrees with the curb.
thus making possible the parking OF

Alderman Paul, who was present in

istercd an unqualified protest agains,
any measure requiring miscellaneous
vehicles to curry lights at night The
Groccrymcn of the city, he said, had
asked HIN to protest against any such

thought. would be raised by milk, coal

owners Of horsc-drawn vehicles

exclaimed Alderman Paul, by way OF
emphasizing what he regarded the
radical nature OF such departure.
The picture Mr.. Paul conjurcd up
caused the committee and assembled
citizens To smile.

Grace Street Has Sold Its Property

Negotiations With Westminster
Fell Through.

Tentative plans for the consolida-
ton OF the congregations OF the
Church of the Covenant and Grace
street Presbyterian Church. and the
erection OF n new building for the
Joint congregation. are being consid-
ercti by the sessions of the two
churches. Ovcrtures were made recent.

ton.
Grace street Presbyterian Church is
anxious to move further west. The
congregation two years ago sold H..
church at Fourth and Grace Streets.
and an effort was made to consolidate
with Westminster Presbyterian Church
hut the congregation voted against the
plan suggested by tho joint committee
Later the Westminster congregation
protested against the invasion of its
territory, when the Grace street
church trustees considered building at
Monument Avenue and the Boulevard
The Church OF the Covenant Is To-
Gated at Park Avenue and Harrison
Streets.
MAY ERECT CHURCH ON
OLD COLLEGE CAMPUS
Should tho two congregations unite,
it is generally believed that church
will be erected on tho old Richmond
College property. The Grace Street
congregation has $4,000 which it de-
rived from the sale Of It's church build
ing. and the Church of the Covenant
property would probably bring good
price. These two sums combined
would give tie joint congregation
enough cash to go ahead Immediately
with it's plans.
The congregations are about equal in
size. having between 400 and 500 mem
bers. The tentative proposal for the
merger was made by tho Church OF
the Covenant, and is being considered
by the session OF the older conErcga-
ton. Should it be viewed with favor.
both churches will be asked to ap-
poin; committees to confer on the
terms OF consolidation. These terms
would then be offered to the congrega-
lions for ratification.
ON Wednesday night the conSrcga-
ton of Grace street Church declined
to rcpurchase It's present building.
