ward Seen From Green
field To Village

A four-lane, 64-foot boulevard
in the southern end Of the city
connecting Maffitt Village to the
city via South Front Street,
WAS seen yesterday when the
completion of an around-the-city
truck lane has been established.
According to the plan-disclo-
sure, South Front street would
be widened from Greenfield lake
to the Village to become an in
teg<al part ef the new truck
route.
It was said that widening Of
South Front street is deemed ne
cessary since it would become a
part of the designated truck
route to cross town on 10th
street. Under this plan, it was
said, a large portion of Front
street would bear its share of
traffic, particularly after the
Standard Oil company and other
interests locate new terminals
south of the shipyard.
Expense of widening this
street is expected to be borne
by the Federal Public Roads
administration
