BOULEVARD DRIVE
ALONG RIVER BANK
ASKED BY CITIZENS

Boulevard drives from the west ap-
proach of the proposed South G street
bridge, north to the National road
along the west bank of the White
water, will be petitioned for in the
near future. The opportunities Offer
ed for making boulevard of this
kind were considered by the board of
county commissioners before definite
ly deciding upon the G street site.
John Newcomer and John Reed,
members of the joint committee repre-
senting the Southwest Richmond I'M
provement association, told the COM
missioners Saturday that steps would
be taken in petitioning for road
along the west bank. The scenery
viewed from the west end of the pro-
posed bridge surpasses that of any
places in this community. The west
bank at this place is approximately
eighty feet above the river level and
affords a view down the deep White
water gorge of over a mile.
