COMMITTEE EXAMINES
PROPOSED APPROACH
Industrial Association Representatives
Would Have Viaduct Take
Combined Routes.

Members OF the executive commit.
tee of the Industrial association today
examined the proposed approaches to
the west end of the reconstructed
Keokuk and Hamilton bridge. The
committee members who made the
trip favor combination of the Blon-
deau street and Main street schemes
for viaduct. Their idea would cut the
Main street hill, which is now quite a
bugbear for traffic to about $50 feet.
The Industrial association commit
tee is favorable to a viaduct across
Water street from the present gate
house on Blondeau street to First
street. From First street they would
run the viaduct diagonally through
the alley to Main street, which would
bring the approach about $50 feet
from Second and Main street. This
would cut down the pull on. the Main
street hill, and provide practically a
straight viaduct to the business street
of the city.
The Industrial association represen-
tatives who made the trip this morn
ing were Ira W. Wills, c. r. McFar-
land, ]. Albert Kiedaisch and o. B.

facing hard problem in the question

should be constructed. The plan pro-
posed yesterday by the council, that
o. running the viaduct up Blondeau
street to near the intersection OF
First, thence across the block to
Main street, just below Second, was
today found to be impractical on &C
count OF the fact that the removal and
purchase OF certain buildings would
incur too great an expense to the city.
Together with several men from an
Industrial association committee, the
council went over the ground again
this morning In an effort to determine
the most practical method OF building
the yiaduct. A cozfcrence between
the council and the members of this
committee was held at the city hall
later in the morning on the subject.
but no definite conclusions were
reached. 1t is believed that it will
take some time to determine just
how this problem can best be solved.
