new MOTOR DRIVE SLAYER MAY Die
Residents of West Tenth Favor
Street improvement.
Would Provide Drive Thru At
tractive Part of City.

A shaded motor car drive on each
side of West Tenth avenue to be
about twelve feet wide. absorbing a
part of the wide parking on that ave-
nue. is project favored by many
residents of that section OF the city.
The idea hes been presented to the
city commission and to Robert Pierce,
president of the city planning board,
and is to be taken under consideration
by those civic bodies. Arthur Hodgins
of 921 West Tenth avenue has pre-
sented the plan to the city officials
The wide parkings on Tenth avenue
from Tyler street to West street
would allow the construction of the
twelve foot drive on each side of the
present street, making drive for
nine blocks thru one of the most at
tractive residence sections. Only light
traffic would be allowed on such a
drive, and as the drive would be con-
structed on both sides of the street.
passing of cars would not be allowed
on the parkway drive. The twelve
feet of additional driveway would not
absorb the entire parking, Is in that
section the parking is much wider
than twelve feet.
They Oppose Re-Surfacing.
Property owners on West Tenth ave-
nue. nave opposed the re-surIaclnS OF
that street because they do not ap-
prove of the kind of pavement pro-
vided for in the granting of the petit
ton. They demonstrated that they did
not believe the re-surfacing planned
justified the amount the pavement
would cost.
1.-The parkway drive on West Tenth
street seems feasible to me-" Arthur
Hodgins said today. II think it posi-
BILE that the city commission will be
interested in the matter If such a
drive is built it will provide a means
