at Least 60 Feet Wide.

resolution providing for the open
Ing OF Fifteenth street from Thirty
first to Forty-fifth avenue was for
maly presented by Mayor McConochie
at the regular meeting Of the city
council yesterday afternoon.
A new feature of this big project is
that the authorities intend to carry il
through without any expense to the
city. The improvement is to be effect
ed by condemning the property along
the right of way. The mayor had
made previous announcement of his
Intention last Friday. The resolution
which was adopted by the commission
yesterday was worded as follows:
Resolved, That the city engineer
and city attorney be and are hebey
instructed to take preliminary steps
for the opening Of Fifteenth street
from Forty-fifth avenue north to Thir-
I ty-6rst avenue, to a width not less
than 60 feet, same to be opened at no
expense to the city"
The mayor has ordered that action
be taken as quickly as possible on this
Improvement. At the present time
Fifteenth street runs from First ave-
nue. south to Eighteenth avenue
When the opening project is completed
Fifteenth street will again be contin-
4 ued at the south line of Chipp.annock
cemetery. running south of Forty-ffth
avenue, the Watch Tower road.
j With regard to the proposed raise
in gas rates, which the Peoples Pow
er company is soon to ask permission
TO boost from the state utilities COM
mission. Mayor McConochie stated
mat although he is personally oppos-
Cd to such move, it is not probable
that the city will take any legal steps
70 oppose the increase.
In normal times we might said
the mayor. but under present condi-
lions ! think il is not advisable" just
who will represent the consumers in
tnis matter is not known at the pres
ent time.
Soft drink licenses were issued to
me following: Herman ]. Kahn, 1876
