PUBLIC HEARING ON APPROACHES TO BRIDGE SET Delaware Project Requires Purchase of Two Blocks of Land. A public hearing of the resolution to acquire two blocks of ground south of Twenty-Eighth St., between Talbott St. and Washington Blvd., for developing the approach to Delaware St* bi-idgc. has been set by the park board for June 21. The park board Thursday adopted an acquisition resolution in conformity with the request of Mayor L. Ert Slack, who proposed to build a parkway north of the bridge using part of the tract for boulevards leading from Delaware to Talbott and Washington. Dispute Over Price The plan provides a three wayoutlet for north side traffic using the Delaware St. bridge. The city has dickered for several years on purchase of the Jose-Balz Realty Company tract north of the bridge. Numerous changes in city hall beards and dispute over a fair price delayed the deal. Peter F. Balz, realty companypresident, has conferred several times with Mayor L. Ert Slack on the purchase of the property, and a "practical agreement” is understood to have been reached. Slack and Balz declined to reveal the figure asked for the property, but it is reported that the Josc-Baiz firm is asking $125,000. Park Board Member Michael E. Foley explained in voting for the resolution that he would not favor the purchase for an ‘‘enormous figure.” Works Board to Help “I will not be a party to the purchase at the large sum which I understand has been asked,” Foley declared. Foley said he would check the tax duplicates and determine

COAL MINE DEATH TOLL FOR YEAR REACHES 791 WASHINGTON, May 25.—C0al mining in the United States is taking a heavy toll of lives this year, according to reports to the Bureau of Mines. During the first four months of the year, 603 men lost their lives in coal mines, the official figures show. Since May 1 there have been four other mine disasters causing 138 additional deaths, or a total of 791 deaths thus far this year. Despite the recent disasters, however, the death rate this year is lower than for the corresponding period last year when 837 miners lost their lives during the first four months of 1927.
