WILL DOCK STREET PLAN
HOLD UP FOURTEENTHST.?
Advocates of Widening Approach to
MAYO Bridge Fear Scheme May
Be Frustrated.

The Finance Committee OF City
Council will meet tomorrow night at
O'Clock eto further consider the
license ordinance. The committee may
also take up other measures now In
It's hands.
One of the measures which tina
public is anxiously awaiting is that
of improving and widening the Four
teenth Street approach to Mayo
Bridge. This matter was disposed of
largely by Council some time age.
An ordinance directing the City At
torney 10 acquire the property for
widening was adopted and signed by
the Mayor. The City Attorney has
completed his report and the matter
now lies In the archives of the FL
nance Committee.
The reason given FOR its sleep is
that the city's finances are In such
shape as To prohibit the expenditure
of the money necessary for the COM
pietion of the project.
Those who favor the work and the
appropriation express themselves "a
surprised at such an excuse, coming
upon top OF a declaration for the
purchase OF large strip of Land along
Dock Street. for the purpose OF widen
ing that street. while the other meas
ure Is pending.
Pulier's Objection
At the last meeting Of the Street
Committee. this question was referred
to by Aldermen Fuller and Gunst
and Councilmen Jones and English,
who are ardent advocates OF the Four
teenth Street project. and il was en-
phatically declared by Alderman Pull
Ter that he would oppose any move
toward widening Dock Street, until
the Fourteenth Street improvements
had been completed. or at least
started. His expression was echoed
by the others mentioned.
1t was stated by members of the
committee that the Dock Street pro-
position would in no way interiors
with the progress of the Fourteenth
street improvement.
Another matter now pending he
fore the Finance Committee Is the
question OF the establishment Of
Juvenile and Domestic Relations
Court. The esta blishment OF such
court will mean an increased appro-
priation. which the COMMITTEES feels
IL can hardly recommend at this time,
Advocates of the court state that
the amount now in hand Will De sur
ficie / to carry the court through tho
wear but members of the Finance
Com mittee say that the increased sum
would have to come later and would
then ne permanent sum to be drawn
from the treasury thereafter.
