dunn vote by the Hagerstown Chamber
of Commerce in favor of the construc-
ton of handsome boulevard as me-
mortal to the Hagerstown men who
participated in the world war, the City
Council, by vote of to 2, directed
the Street Commissioners to lay out a
wide boulevard, one and one-half miles
long, extending from Virginia avenue
