way to connect North Richmond with
the city proper. The members OF the
committee, accompanied by the Ad-
mnistrative Board, City Engineer and
other officials, will leave from the City
Hall in motor cars at o'clock IN the
afternoon.
y bond issue appropria ton of $751;
0o0 has been set aside for beginning
work on the North Richmond boulc-
ward. The Improvement. however, will
cost several times that amount. OF
the several suggested routes two are
regarded as more practicable than the
others. One OF these would enter
BROAD street at First. and would in
volve the condemnation of much valu-
able property In the colored section
north OF Broad street. The other rout @
would enter the city by the Brook Road
and come into Broad Street at Brook
Avenue.
