 As a result of the many serious accidents which have occurred at the Soldiers monument on the Me morial Boulevard. efforts will now be made to apply some remedy which will eliminate all hazard at that point, Park Commissioners Wallace B. Crumb. Roger s. Newell. s. J. Large and CaliNte Allaire have been appointed committee to look into the matter and furnish figures of the estimated cost and details for the establishment of greens running up to the base of the monument on the east and west sides. Commits sioner Crumb offered this suggestion to the board last evening and be- lieved that if the openings for traf- flc to cross were made about 100 feet on each side of the monument, ac- cidents at the point in question would be very few.
 The suggestion of Commissioner Crumb, if carried out, many be- licVe, would slackcn up traffic to some extent and would also mean that trucks, which are permitted to cross from Riverside avenue onto South street via Mcllen street but are not permitted 10 traverse the Boulevard in either easterly or west crlv directions, would be obliged 10 use the boulevard for some little distance in making the crossing.
