NOW ASSURED
Street Directors Act Favor
ably on Resolution for
Proposed Project
WILL START AT
l1TH AND CHURCH

Final action looking to the con
struction Of boulevard from Eiev.
enth and Church streets to the city
line in the northeasterly section OF
this city was made possible this
morning, when the Street and Sewer
directors adopted the resolution to
establish an sO-foot boulevard from
Fourteenth and Thatcher streets to
rwenty-second and Claymont streets
and thence in northeasterly direc-
ton to city line at Todds avenue.
This boulevard is an extension or
continuation of the boulevard estab-
lished and laid out under another
resolution already adopted by the
directors, to extend from Eleventh
and Church streets to Fourteenth
and Thatcher streets. to be inter
cepted by the proposed new s4OO, 600
bridge to be constructed at Eleventh
and Church streets
Definite action by the directors on
this resolution had been deferred for
several months, while waiting on the
"~NNN NHNAAAtR vi AAAi NAdlAo Ul lily
Council and the definite locating of
the site for the proposed new bridge
by the Levy Court Commissioners.

on by the Levy Court of 1920, was
finally accepted by the present com
missioners. The resolution creating
the first section OF the boulevard
from Eleventh and Church streets TO
Fourteenth and Thatcher streets was
passed several weeks ago, but not
until the directors were assured by
Council they would receive financial
aid for the construction of this new
section, was any action taken on the
third reading of the last resolution.
The new resolution provided for
an SO-foot wide boulevard to be
named later. The roadbed of the
boulevard will be 54 feet 6 inches
wide with IL feet 9-inch sidewalks
constructed on either side. This width
of the new thoroughfare will necessi-
tate the taking over from 10 to is
feet OF ground on each side OF the
proposed boulevard. along Claymont
street. which varies from so to 60
feet In width at this time.
The new boulevard will extend
from Eleventh and Church streets
in a northerly direction to Twenty
second and Claymont streets thence
in northeasterly direction along
Claymont street TO Thirtieth street
and then in more easterly direction
/ II will continue along Claymont
street to Todd's avenue or city line.
