held by the board in months.
"TrvingtOn Speedway"
A delegation from Irvington urged
the street widening, while property
owners along New York St. who must
bear part of the cost, opposed the
project because of expense and the
hazardous" traffic condition it would
cause.
Our street will become an Irving
ton speedway, and if it extended from
Washington St. to Michigan st. if
wouldn't be wide enough, SAID Mar
garet MCGEE. living at New York and
Tacoma Ave.
Bottle Traffic
Other residents said the improve
ment would bottle" traffic because it
had no outlet in Irvington except
small streets.
Irvington residents headed by Fred
D. Still. 450 n. Audubon Rd., presi'
dent Of the Irvington Business Mems

necessary because Of the future
