carefully and when he was told by

MAYOR PROTECTS

CITY INTERESTS

Mayor Clifford B. Wilson's actions
in several recent instances has caus-
ed many of his associates on the Re-
publican machine to register protests.
First it was his 100 per cent. salary
increase grab, then his appointment
of his friend Henry G. Stevenson as
assistant city attorney. Now comes
his stand on establishing a main en-
trance to Beachwood park by widen
ing a street in that vicinity.
Two streets, Bancroft avenue and
Chalmers avenue, were under consid-
Grafton by the Streets and Sidewalks
committee, and it was planned to
widen the one selected to 100 feet.
Property owners, the committee
found, in Chalmers avenue, are will
ing to give the necessary property
for the broadening, but to widen
Bancroft avenue, it is estimated by
the committee that it would cost the
city $4,000.
Mayor Wilson was aware of both
facts, but persisted in asking the
committee to submit a favorable re-
port on the widening Of Bancroft
avenue, The committee turned the
mayor down fatty at a meeting prior
to the last Common Council session
| when the mayor sent a note to the
| committee asking them to bring In
