Al the next regular meeting of the common council. Arthur N. Ruthsr- ford. councilman from the second ward. will introduce a resolution to have the board of public works pre- pare an estimate Of the cost of cut ting away 15 feet Of Central Park at the northern end.
 The councllman's plan would change the whole layout of the cen- ter Of the city and. he believes, would furnish a solution Of the traffic problem.
 Under his plan Church street would appear as continuation of West Main street. and through traffic with no angular turns would be made pos- sible. This would eliminate the tvo turns that would now be required, as- suming that one way traffic was not in effect. since his plan will eliminate the one way traffic idea.

 Mr. Judd stated yesterday that he believed that 1t was for tho best in terests and progress of the children that the supervision of the grades in the Linden street school should be the same as in the Broad street school be- cause pupils are to be sent back from the Linden street institution to the building on Broad street 10 finish their grammar school work and flt them for entrance into High school
