Klingmeyer suggested to Council
that Second street be widened from

spots Of the city.

feet of the easterly side Of the build
ing. Automobiiists enroute In a
southerly direction cannot see the

official action has been taken IN the
matter of razing the building, il was
said last evening, that the promoters
of the scheme would probably ask a

the next few weeks. The matter Of
widening Second street and request
ing the Wilmington Traction Com
pany to place its tracks in the mid
die OF this street, has been referred
to city solicitor for an opinion.
