MANY OPPOSE
WIDENING OF
JOHN STREET
Largest Gallery Ever At City
Hall for Public Hearing.

If the opposition of big property
holders and prominent citizens has
any weight with the members of the
common council none of the plans
to widen John street or to extend
1t to Water street on the east or to
Park avenue on the west, will be
adopted. The largest gallery ever
gathered for any public hearing at
the city hall was assembled in the
common council chamber last night
when a public hearing was held on
the matter. There were many wo-
men present and several of them
voiced their protests. It was finally
decided that another hearing would
be held on first meeting in April.
Miss Sara Boudren protesting
against the extension of John street
to Park avenue, said that it would
reduce her property 50 that what
was left would be of little use. She
also protested for E. G. and Susan
Lacey and for Mrs. Henry Jones.
William Jones appearing for. the Hen
ry Jones estate, also protested
against the extension.
The proposal of City Engineer Ter
ry to make an 80 foot street south. of
Main street by taking off a part of
Wall street was opposed by Attorney
James A. Mari, representing the Con-
necticut National bank. A w. Bur-
rift asked that no faction be taken
in the matter until it had been de-
cided what the cost would be. At
torney r. II. Gould opposed the so
foot widening plan but said he was
IN favor of the SO foot street. John
Flood also took the same attitude.
A letter of protest from Evelene
Foster and others was read. Charles
D. Davis Of the City Planning Com.
mission, favored the 80 foot propo-
sition as did City Engineer Terry. J.
w. Drew also spoke in favor of it,
explaining how the extension from
Main to Water street might be car
ried out along different lines than had
been planned.
The proposal to extend Elm street
through Courtland street to Park ave.
nue., also brought forth a. storm of
protest. Judge A B.. Beers appear-
ed for DIR. Daniel O.. DeWolfe, DR..

opposition. 4
Others who opposed the project
were Attorney Gould for John r.
woodruff; n. w. NettIeton for Car
RE Nettleton; r. D. Waipple for the
First Baptist church; Edwin L.,
Fraunberger for John D. Carpenter
William P. Kirk was much in favor
of the proposition He said it was

provement OF the city. When NGr. 4

Kirk?"

goes through
Attorney Thomas c. Coughnn ap-
peared for George w. Finn in favor
of the plan.
The main opposition to the plan
was that a grade would be establish
ed in the extension Of the street
which would not invite traffic espe-
cia1ly that of loaded vehicles and,
therefore, traffic conditions in Fair
field avenue would not be relieved.
It was finally decided that this hear
ing also would be postponed until the
first meeting night in April.

Venice, March i2.--Accordfng to- tn
Hungarian newspapers received here
the situation in Przernysl, which has
been under siege OF a Russian army
for four months, is not yet alarming.
.Aviators, who visit the garrison al
most daily, report that there should
be no really serious shortage OF pro-

a radius of twelve miles, and include
a, considerable area, Of farm and
garden land and twelve small agri-
cultural villages.
The city was we'll stocked with
food at the beginning of the siege
and this supply has been carefully
husbanded and do1ed out under the
strictest regulations by the military
authorities. Food allotted for the
civil population is turned over at
stated intervals by the military gov
ernor, who fixes the retail price of
each commodity. Prices, curiously,
enough, are lower than hey were be
fore the war, but money has really
little value in a community where
the amounts of each article purchas-
able are limited by law. Those who
have no money receive free meals of
approximately the same quality and
quantity allowed to those who pay
