bien-st.. which would cut diagonally
through business district. He
said that a conservative estimate of
the cost OF the improvement would
be $5OO,000, but others present said
II could lot be done for 'ess than
81 100000. Objection to this plan

Stuart Walker invented and brought

the auditorium OF the Museum Of

the afternoon, were attentive and

hold of the juvenile fancy, and was
