Property owners on Spring street who are willing to give waivers of damages in order to make that thor oughfare into a 60-foot Boulevard for its entire length have been asked to communicate with G. A Martin, 502 Peters Building, In a letter published by the Spring Street Committee. This committee has as its object the regrading of the street and elimi nating the heavy grades which at present prevent traffic to any extent. The letter, which will be sent to ev ery property owner on,the street, is unique and makes the prediction that unless another outlet to the North Side, other than Peachtree, is soon provided, the North Side development will be brought to a standstill. It reads: “Can Peachtree carry the traffic much longer? “Wouldn’t it be a joy if there was one good boulevard in Atlanta that we could drive out without contin ually applying the emergency brakes to prevent running down some pe destrian or jamming a street car? Let’s all dream of that being a pos sibility and let each citizen of At lanta lend his aid by asking the representative of his ward in the City Council to assist, and then watch the County Commissioners, who are in hearty accord with the work, put convicts to work according to their promise on or before January’ 15. The grade committee of Spring street went out last Thursday with the engineers and inspected each contemplated change of grading, as shown on the new profile and maps, which are near ly finished." The letter also refers to Mayor Woodward's plaza project, which pro vides a viaduct at the foot of Spring street, and gives this as an urgent reason for the immediate develop ment of Spring street into a broad boulevard.
