Voigt, vice president, said. “Let's not wait until campaign time when administrations make gestures. Let's get on this now.” “The City Engineer's office has been drawing plans for 20 years,” Mr. Voigt said. The suggestion that citizens make their demands before the Works Board was made by Mr. Kriner, “We should see to it,” he said, “that there is a mass attendance at the first Works Board meeting to consider elevation under the new law.” The Club adopted a resolution to! oppose construction of center abut-| ments or piers at any overheads. The suggestion was made by Paul Lindemann, City Market master. “These middle abutments are hazards all over the city,” he said. He told members he understood that center abutments were planned. The Club recently intervened into the City's suit in Circuit Court to mandate the railroads to procede with elevation. However, attorneys for the City and railroads have agreed to defer action until the new elevation law is promulgated. The Pennsylvania and Belt Railroad's crossings on Madison Ave.
