1 TO GO AHEAD WITH
IMPROVEMENT AN
CONCORD HEIGHTS
At the meeting of the Street and
Sewer directors yesterday, Fred K.
Felt of the Concord Heights Company,
stated that ell necessary consents of
abutting property owners had been ob
tained for the widening of the space at
the Intersection of the Boulevard Con
cord avenu«, Harrison, Twenty-fourth
and Twenty-fifth streets, except that
portion providing for the cutting
through of Twenty-fourth street, to
the Boulevard and small piece of land
adjacent thereto, Intended for parking
purposes. As the owners appreciate
the difficulties under which the Street
and Sewer Department labored, owing
to lack of Immediate funds, ho had se
cured a modification of the proposal
ronde at the previous meeting a week
ago, and nit now asked woe that the
directors give their assurance ihat In
the event of the property owner* deed
ing to the city the necessary land, the
Street and Sewer board would nt once
make application to City Council for
an amount sufficient to cover the ex
pense of paving such space ns may be
donated and curb snob parking place*
as may become the property of the
city, this amount to bo added to the
next bond Issue.
Colonel Spark# assured
that the board heartily Indorsed the
proposition and would do all in Us
power to get the additional amount
included In the next bond schedule,
and it wa# up to the councilman from
Mr. FeU
the Ninth ward to support the recom
mendation and secure Us passage by
Council.
A general discussion of the plans
and drawings prepared by Francis A
Price, civil engineer, working with
Alexander J. Taylor, city engineer,
and Leon Wilde Crawford, architect,
under the direction of Mr. Felt, fol
lowed between the directors, Mr. Tay
lor and Mr, FeU. In which It was
brought out that It would be desir
able to run the trolley tracks around
and not through the Improved space,
thus avoiding traffic difficulties and
the marring of this beautiful gate
way to the city by tracks, poles and
overhead wires
Mr. Felt thanked the directors for
their hearty approval of the proposi
tion nnd said he would proceed with
the final negotiations leading to the
transfer of the land to the city.
If Is hoped that no delay will rise
with the second proposition discussed
at the meeting of the Ninth Ward
Civic Association on Monday night
In rclatiun lo the extension of the

No-Rim-Cut Tires

Come See
The New Type Tires
You who ever have rim-curs—
You whose tires lack capacity—
We urge you to come and see tires that
can't rim-cut—the oversize tires.
The tires which far outsell all others,
after years and years of tests.
You'll See
tires are selling today about 11 per
cent lower than last year.
Now there is no extra price to
deduct from the savings these
new-type tires insure you.
You will see at a glance that
No-Rim-Cut Pres make rira-cut
forever impossible.
You will see they are larger than
clisoher tires—over the rated size.
I« air capacity, they exceed old
type tires by an average of 16.7
per eent.
Yen know that these features
must mean big economies, if the
tires themselves are the best men
make. And the verdict is that
Goodyears are.
i
In 1912 the demand for Good
years was almost ten times larger
than in 1909. All because of this
new-type tire.
And men today are quitting
clincher tires faster than ever
before.
