the East Broad Street controversy from
september. 1914, when the board
awarded to the Central Construction
ana supply Company a contract for
laying monolithic pavement on that
street from Twenty fourth To THIRTY
second Streets.
MI EirschberE told of repeated let
ters that had been written to the COM
pany. asking that It reconstruct its
tracks on Broad Street cast OF Twenty
fourth, In order that the city may PRO
coed with the paving. To these let
ters Mr.. Hirschbcrg said the company
replied. in effect, that the rcrouting
ordinance temporarily relieved il from
doing this construction. and that II
would be hardship on the company to

request
The reconstruction Of the track be-
tween Twenty-fOurth and Thirty-sec-

the tracks and two feet from the outer

JONES AND SULLIVAN
For M MEDIATE ACTION

Councilman Jones and Sullivan told
inc committee that in voting for the
reroutinS ordinance it was their pur-
pose to relieve the company merely
from the necessity of operating its
cars over the dangerous Broad Street
hills. and that ii was not their in
tcntion to relieve il from any of it's
franchise obligations as regards recon
Struction or paving east of Twenty
fourth Street.
Mr. lfirschberg described the con-
ditonS on East BROAD street as de-
plorab!c. The whole stretch. he said,
has been provided with new under
ground installations, and the granite
blocks that have been removed have
not been put back, since il was the
boards expectation to begin work soon
on the smooth paving. 1t would cost
about $4,000. he said, TO replace the
blocks and put the street back in a
