Hoonan's Backer Is Ready to Post
a Forfeit.
(Special Correspondence.)
Barberton, June S. The boulevard
between Akron arid Barberton, de
scribed In these columns stvcral weeks
ago, is now assured. Air. N. R. Stcincr
of Akron, and Air. W. A. Johnston,
mauagcr of tho Barberton Land Co.,
are the principal promoters of the new
boulevard.
The Akron Realty Co., In which Air.
Stelner is largely Interested, by the
purchase of the Salt works property,
connects the property Air. Stcluer
owns personally to the land owned by
Air. Johnston, situated between Alain
St., South Akron to New Portage, The
.property is three miles In length.
These parties have decided to build
a boulevard, 100 feet In whlth. hnvlng
the driveways, with trees and shrub
bery In the center, and trees on either
side. The boulevard will start near Ira
avo., Akron, ami run In a direct Hue
to the New Portage road, near the
Rapid Transit switch, making a dis
tance of about three miles. This will
make a direct driveway to Barberton
and will beneiit both cities alike.
Alossrs, Johnstou and Steluer will
open up' the adjoining territory to the
boulevard. In fact they wljl start a
little village of their own. 'fjfrenuuus
efforts will be made to secure manu
facturers to locate there, for which
they can make good offers, as the land
runs along the railroad fur toiiio dis
tance. When the lipulijxard Is complclod
and the laud allntcd It will practically
unite the two cltios.
II Is appropriate at this time to ex
plain how (his big uiidei Inking amis
launched. When Wllkofsky Bros,
were active in seeking a local Ion for
their proposed steel plant holh Akron
ami Barberton were asked lo make
au olfer. It developed that Baihertou
could make the best offer, and Air.
Stelner, president of the Chamber of
Commerce, conferred with Air, John
ston, and said ho would rather see
P.tirherton get It than any other place,
since Akron eould not lnnkp n satlsfac-
lory offer, ami that lie would use Ids
efforts In that dIrccr-o-.i.
At this meeting between Afr. Steln
er and Air. Johnston, Air, Sleiuer stirt
ed a conversation r0atlvu to the price
of real citato near, Wlugertur's cross
ing, lie thought 11 would advance In
value. Ono thing brought on another
and tluajly they decided to work to
gether to get all the property along the
lino of the proposed boulevard. First
Air. Johnston bought the Soqors farm,
ami the Akron Realty Co, bought sev
eral pieces of property, until now)
they have nil Ihey desire and nro ready
to carry out their plans.
Up to dale, Air. A. K. Towilsond has
not accepted the franchise h'e asked
for lo build a strew railroad from the
west corporation line to die Soda Ash
switch. A limit qf 510 dn.vs was placed
