We are now asking you to go two blocks south.' The speaker pointed out that , the excavations on South E street to get under the C. & O. tracks would entail an additional expense of $43.Q00; that South Fifth street mustbe lowered five feet at E, causing a bad grade. He pointed out that the G street location would permit the construction of the boulevard system along the west bank of Whitewater river, for which west eiders have been striving many years. Would Relieve Traffic. lie also said the traffic congestion on Main street would be relieved if interurban cars were routed over the South G street bridge. , Henry Bode asserted that the G street site was in essence a compromise agreed upon to satisfy the opposition of the West Side Improvement association against the South L and South H street sites. "Originally I was for South L, on account of the Beallview property we hold, but the tremendous opposition of the whole commun'ty led me to c hange my opinion and I worked diligently for South II. This street was laid out to be a good approach to the bridge. The Fry Bros, factory was set back 10 feet. Henry Rothert built his grocery story 10 feet back of the line, the Glove factory did the same, and the cement gutter on Liberty avenue was left open at H for the bridge approach. "Eighty per cent of the traffic will go north on South Fifth and very Utile will go east on G street." argued Hans Koll. "The argument against the disadvantages of South G street are specious. The farm traffic across the bridge will turn north on Fifth and not east on G street." Koll Takes Firm Stand. Mr. Koll came out decidedly against the uncompromising spirit of the west side contingent, saying, "We are not uncompromisingly against every site but the one we want: we are for harmony, we want it: that is the spirit which will solve the difficulty." The proposed construction of the span sixty feet south of South E street, proposed by some speakers of the west side. met. witli opposition from ) John Niewoehner. - Referring to the plans for a structure on South E stjeet, Mr. Niewoehner said this would bring about a. grade on South Fifth and E street that would be almost 4 per cent, or the equivalent of the Main street grade. The corner would become a pool in rainy weather, he said. Property would have to be condemned orf the south side of E, between Fourth and Fifth and two or four properties would 'be condemned to bring about a turn into Fifth street. He also directed attention to the strata i of stone beneath South E and spoke iof the. tremendous cost of construct, Ing a viaduct.

NEW MEMBERS JOIN SOUTH SIDE GROUP

The membership roster of the South Side Improvement association passed the 400 mark last evening, when eighteen new and one Honorary member were voted members. The membership now stands at 413." The members accepted L.st evening .are: Dr. F. W. Krueger, Dr. Lou Clem, Wilmer Brown, C. H.Drifmeyer, John Shurley, C. E. Arthur Lindner, Henry Eggert, Henry Fredeman, R. P. Whisler, Q. D. Bullerdick, Dr. John Warnpier, Ira Swisher, Henry Personett, Edgar Illff. George Rhienigger, George W. Murray of Dublin, Dan Burkbardt, Taylor Abner and Harman Swicker, the latter an honorary member. WEST SIDE Continued From Page One. , - Tf the bridge Is placed at G, you cannot get into the city without going under the Fifth street C. & O. viaduct. You say E street is narrow. What about G?. This street must be widened to make it accessible. If you go east on that thoroughfare you will cross the C. & O. tracks at a grade crossing on South Sixth street. You will have to buy more property on G than you will on E. Property between Fifth and Sixth on G must be condemned to widen that street. "The other day a furniture van had to stop at the Fifth street viaduct and unload before it could pass under the structure. You can not get a big load of hay under the viaduct." The speaker then went on to show how the E street site would cost less, how it would be nearer the shopping district, and how the property damage would not be heavy. Starr Not Interested.. John Reed took exception to the statement of Mr. Blickwedel that the Starr. Piano company opposed" the South E street site, saying that both Harry and Clarence Gennett had assured him that the location was only a secondary consideration. .. He said the company was interested only in one phase, namely, to prevent the backing up of water into its plant. John Lux denied the assertion of Mr. Niewoehner that a deep slope would be formed at South Fifth and E by the proposed bridge. He assured the members that South 'E street would be level from South Fourth and South Fifth street , Mr. Hunemeier called attention to the advantage of a belt line car operating through West Richmond and over the -E street bridge to Main street. He also questioned the disposition of is'C the special bridge fund, saying that he had been told that this money could be appropriated for any structure on the south side. He was assured by Mr. Blickwedel, who said that no street car company will build a belt. line,. as this , is a money losing venture. . "Property damage on South E street will amount to $14,000," said Mr. Blickwedel. "E street must be widened. There will be no trouble in lowering the grade under the C. & O. viaduct -on Fifth street. At E street, the county or city will have to pay one-third of the cost of the proposed viaduct, the railroad the other twothirds. The excavation will be through rock. The G. street site is near the Joseph Moore school house. South West E street is only 42 feet wide,' entirely too narrow for a main thoroughfare. The Starr piano company is opposed to the South E street site and wants the South Side Improvement association to fight this location." Would Contest Action. Mr. Blickwedel also insisted .that if the commissioners located the bridge at South E street, the South Side Improvement association would contest legally the right of appropriating the $104,090 in the special bridge fund for this span.' Mr. Hunemeier and Mr. Lux de nied the existence of a deep strata of stone beneath South E street, asserting that tests showed there was a soil structure of six feet, giving plenty room , for the viaduct. Both insisted that the cost of the viaduct would not be a heavy one. They reiterated their position that G street is as narrow as South E. County Engineer Mueller was detained at Cincinnati. Mr. Koll said Mr. Mueller had informed him that the South E street site was out of the question. He said the engineer held the site would work injury and not a benefit to the city. John Reed argued that a bridge at G street gives the southwest side no relief. Few persons live below South E street. A bridge at G is of no benefit to those living between Main and E streets. It will offer as little relief as does the Doran bridge. He said the district near South tf r 1

West E street had been developed and

believed a structure at that point would mean the extension of building activities of this street. It will take many years before there is much building activity between South West G and E street. If there is a bridge on E street, a building boom will soon start. Centerville Events By Mrs. Lenna King. Mrs. Arthur Crowe entertained Fay Darnell, Catherine Bell Crowe and Ruby Fender Sunday afternoon in honor of the birthday of her daughter Bertha, who was 7 years old. Luncheon was served James Dearth and Si Solomon and Tom Clevenger are 111. .... Mrs, Ada Darnell of East Walnut street entertained the C. W. B. M. class Wednesday afternoon. COURT APPROVES GOLO FARM" SALE Judge Fox placed his stamp of approval on the sale of the Thornburg "gold farm" in Jefferson township which brought a price of $16,546.20, which was approximately $8,000 lower than the appraisement as set In .the original report of the commissioners. The farm was sold to William L. and John Fouts. The partition suit which forced the sale was brought by Walter Thornburg, administrator. The terms of the will called for an equal distribution of the estate as realized in the sale. CIVIC BODIES Continued From Page One. peals of the south siders that the west siders recede from their uncompromisingly rirm stand for South E street and agree on a location 750 feet Bouth of this street, met with firm resistance. John A. Reed, spokesman for the south west association, at the very outset showed tbat his side would hot compromise one foot. Reed States Position. "We are uncompromisingly and absolutely determined that the new bridge shall be located at South E street," was the introduction to his opening speech. "We will fight for South E street to the last. We cannot see any other logical place for the bridge. You yourselves In future years will agree that South E street is the logical and only place for the bridge." President Blickwedel and members of his association were equally as firm in opposing South E street and contending for the South G street location, their arguments against the former site being based on these three contentions, mainly: Grade crossing at E over C. & ; O. tracks will be denied by the public utilities, commission! ' f ' - Excessive cost in the construe-' tion of the span proper, in paying damages to abutting propertv owners, in lowering the grade of South. Fifth street Viaduct at South Fifth and E streets impractical, costly and unnecessary. " ; Pleas of the south siders that they had abandoned the original South L street site, the South H street loca tion, and finally had compromised on South G street as a favor to the south west siders, and that they had gone 1,750 feet north of the first proposed site and were asking the south west siders to go only 750 feet south of their choice, brought no responsive an swer. Bavis Breaks Deadlock. The deadlock was broken by the speech of Mr. Bavis in which he point ed out that ultimate authority for the location of the bridge rested in the county commissioners. "You cannot decide it," he said. "It strikes me that the south siders have been eminently fair. They have gone 1,750 "feet north. Why cannot you south west siders go 750 feet and meet them? Is there anything unfair in this proposition? "The South Side Improvement as sociation has made no end of conces sions. Why cannot you join with them and go before the county commissioners and demand a bridge this year. Nobody will ford the river, no matter where the bridge is located. "This is a question of diplomacy, of give and take. The south siders have given liberally. Can't you enter into the spirit of giving and go 750 feet south from your original proposition? It is important that this be settled this yeari if we want the bridge." This appeal seemed to impress Charles Hunemeier, who had taken the lead in directing the attack of the south west siders, and he voiced his sentiment: "We want the bridge where it will 10c. pkg. 3 for 25c Canton, Ohio

do the most people good. We are satisfied to have a bridge that will be a public benefit." Henry Bode then made the suggestion that led to the compromise when he said: , "Why not leave the .whole matter to the county commissioners and the county council? Let both of us go before the commissioners with our claims for a south side structure."

President Blickwedel directed attention to the difficulty of settling the Main street bridge controversy in 1916 and again urged the construction of the south side span this year. Thomas Elleman proposed a settlement by the county commissioners. John Reed of the South West Side Improvement association proposed the appointment of a committee from each association to appear before the com missioners and demand a bridge in 1916. B. A. Kennepohl made the motion that resulted in the naming of the south side committer. John Niewoehner and John Reed spoke on the willingness of both associations to abide by the commissioners' decision regarding the site. The South West Side Improvement association was represented by John Lux, James Rose, A. C. Brown, James Turman, Charles Hunemeier, William Fisher, John A. Reed, and Jacob Robbins.
