cate one Of the approaches to the

resolution follows:
Spring Garden street is already
available without any widening OF
streets and with a minimum Of land
damages. 1t is far enough away from
the central business and retail section to
avoid adding to the present congestion,
and yet near enough for convenient ac-
cess.
A bridge crossing at Spring Garden
street would enable the traffic to find a
direct outlet to the great Industrial sec. c.

phia via the Spring Garden street
bridge. and to Germantown and Chest
