The property on one sido of it 8 not worth enough to pay half the cost of tho Improvement, and the city at Iargo would be obliged to bear the burden of the other half.

The North Sido is entitled to the smmne- faclllties " for ‘reaching ‘its plensure- grounds. We donot see how the Mayor ean conslstently discriminate against tho North Sidein this matter, and leave It alone with- out the ndvantages contomplated ln_ the net authorizing the construction. of boulevards. As to the particular route selected, it Is o falr compromise, taking in the better part of the two main resldénce avenues ot tha North Division. It does not includo the Lake-Shore drive, but noither doos It exclude that road ns o part of the park systom. The Lake- Shoro drive will bo maintained as at present by the Park Cominissioners, and will* form a valuablo ndjunct of tho other boulovards, ut thero aro soine reasons why it would not bo n deslrable route, unless supplementod by Dedrborn avenue.
