My dear President Van Name:
During the present reconstruction
period when the burden of taxation is
already greater than many of Staten

more propitious period.
There is, however, an urgent nee
essary improvement that / believe
should be consummated with the least
possible delay. l refer TO the neces-
eity Of q continuous sidewalk from the
foot of Amboy Road in Tottenville to
the foo of Vanderbilt avenu in Cliff

place the same high value on human

be no appreciable opposition to the
project and 1 strongly urge you to
bring the matter before the people for
early action.
Yours very truly.
