Superintendent Shreiner Or
derS Work For Improve
ment at Eastern End

Preliminary surveys for a second
highway to cross the Capitol Park
extension somewhere about the line
of Seventh street and which will ulti-
mately form connections with the
approaches to the Bridge of the
Counties" which is to span the dis
tance from the eastern line of the
Capitol Park extension to the brow
of Allison Hill have been started.
the lines will be considered by the
Board of Public Grounds and Build
ings after consultation with Arnold
w. Drummer and Warren H. Man
ming, so that they will fit right into
the great scheme for adornment of
the public domain.
The filling in of the new avenue
which is to cross the Park extension
about on the line of Aberdeen and
East streets is progressing rapidly,
thanks to the foresight of Superin-
tendent George A. Shreiner, who Sc
cured many thousand loads of cinder
and has contracts made for much
more. This filling gives an idea of
the height of the new highway and
the stupendous proposition which
must be worked out to give the State
House an adequate setting in the
years to come.
The surveys will take some time
and then the data will be submitted
by Mr.. Shreiner, who has been in
consultation with Mr.. Drummer about
the park plans this month The
studies for the bridge which Auditor
General Charles A. Snyder says will
make crowning part of the extend
ed park plans, are under way
