RCPKP fn VOLUME XV. Si'Y \v . . ALBANY, QA.i THURSDAY AFTERNOON, JANUARY 11, 1906. NUMBER k -JiiWmB SIDEWALKS WILL BE 18 FEET WIDE ON WIDER, AND 17 FEEET WIDE ON NARROW ER STREETS. At a speoial meeting held on Wash- . jjngfton^ street yesterday afternoon, the ,coim"cU i decided to widen all the side- walks in the city. The walks on the Streets running east and west will be made 18 feet 'wld« and the walks on the streets running 'north and south will be 17 fe^t w'de. ■ At the conclusion of the special -meeting Which was helA in the conn ell chamber yesterday afternoon, the council adjourned , to Washington, I street -where a .conference was held w^th,City-'Engineer Wilcox and an in- spectiow of certain street work was made. ' It was found that the levels of the sidewalks on pine street between Washington and Front streets, would necessitate the cutting down of the south walk and the building up of -the north walk. The new walks would be considerably lower on the south side and considerably higher on the north Sidy than the present floor levels of the buildings on that street. Capt.' Wilcox advised that this con dition could be largely relieved if the- walks were made.wider, allowing a wider range of grade in the' walks, and at his suggestion the council decided to make the sidewalks 18 feet wide on Pine and' all other par allel streets and'"to make the walks 17 feet wide on all intersecting streets. ’■■ '*■ ' The width of the paving o’, these 1 walks is not to he increased, but a space will be left- on the outer side of the walk for a grass plot, In which the shade trees and telephone poles will be placed. Many advantages for this plan were urged, one of which was the great saving to the city when .Accident on the^Terminal Elevated Tracks in St. Louis—Six Passengers Injured—One Seriously. 100 Add Per Cent. to value of Your F arms ky v - using X.
