DEPLORE EFFECT
ON HIGHWAYSOF
OVERHEAD BRIDGE
Chamber of Commerce Legal
Battle Is Being Watched
With Interest
RECALL BLOUGH GRANT
Measure Was Passed in Febru-
ary, but Never Went to
City Planners

Municipal circles are watching. and
waiting with more than ordinary in
terest the outcome of the legal battle
that has been pegun by the Chamber
of Commerce against the. recent action
of Council in granting corporation
the right to bridge one of the city's
highways.
The result of the attack against
what is looked upon as a new policy of
the City Commissioners, is considered
of special significance in view OF the
bearing this may have on future pro-
gressive development within the city
limits.
Since tn eagitation was begun by the
Chamber of Commerce through
committee of its members. business
men and others have learned with sur
prise that Council more than six
months ago set the pace by granting
permission to the Blough Brothers
Manufacturing Company to build, not
one, but two overhead bridges across
Fulton street to connect the main and
annex building.
The Blough Bridge
February 15, 1916, City Commission
er w. H. Lynch introduced an ordin-
ance permitting Blough Brothers to
. bridge Fulton street at a point so
feet south of Reilly street. The meas
ure provided that Whereas, the
Blough Manufacturing Company find
1T necessary for the proper and eff
cient conduct of it's business, to con-
meet the buildings on either side of
Fulton street. owned by it. by two
bridges, and as apparently no harm
will be done to the city by such con-
struction," that the necessary permis-
sion be granted.
That measure was never sent to the
City Planning Commission for consid-
GRAFTON. 1t was passed and approved
February 22. 1916.
Other stories are now being recalled
in municipal circles of other requests
for similar privilege which were re-
fused. No official requests have been
made, or at least none appear on the
records, but it has been pointed out
that informal suggestions by prospec-
tive builders were discouraged.
The Effect OH the Streets
The possible effect of general car
rying out of the overhead bridge policy
would offset the plan of clearing the
streets and alleys of it's network of
wires and poles, a scheme, by the way,
which is now being followed by the
utility companies, is causing a whole
lot of discussion.
Now" suggested one local business
man, the councilmen have explained
that they permitted the erection of
the Swift & Company bridge in order
to boost the business district. If this
be true of one section, it is true of
other sections. So what's to prevent
other firms in the commercial sections
or the city from presenting similar re-
quests to Council. And the effect of
the plan to clear the streets and alleys
of wires and poles will be lost entire
ly."
