Perry, park engineer, today began preparation of pians and , specifications for the construction j of four* large boulevard projects costing about $600,000.

Michael E. Foley, Democratic member, declared the completion of the Kessler boulevard route to Millersville is a “moral and legal obligation of the board,” in moving for the adoption of the resolution. Approximate cost of the Kessler link will be $160,000. The stretch from Bellefontaine street to Keystone will be widened. Work to Be Hurried The board also ordered a survey and plans for these projects on mo- | lion of Foley: Laying out of boulc- > vard from Keystone to Millersville bridge at Fifty-sixth street along the north bank of Fall Creek, $200,000: parkway along Pleasant Run from Washington to Keystone, j $186,000, and completion of the 'Pleasant Run boulevard route from i Prospect to East Washington street. 1 Commissioner Foley declared the j work will be completed as soon as I i>ossible by the pa*k department. | Plans arc ready on the Kessler plan and the engineer was instructed to proceed rapidly with the other proj- ; rets. The Fall Creek route will depend upon the conveyance of property for the boulevard and parkway i A. W. Brayton Jr., landscape arc vileet, submitted a plan whereby the j 'property owners would donate the ! land some months ago. Completion of these contemplated ■ arteries will be a big step in con- ; nccting the present boulevards. Elder Is Speaker W illiam L. Elder.
