Parkway Hearing.

A hearing on the proposed parkway, from Quincy square to the river, was held at the City Hall last night. James R. Murphy, the lawyer for those opposed to the parkway, argued that the hearing could not be called final, because, according to statute, the final hearing could only be the called after the plans had been advertised for thirty-days. He introduced witnesses to show that the traffic on De Wolfe street was not large enough to call for widening the street. Objections were made to the proposed changes on the ground that a wider street would so encroach on the residences on De Wolfe street as to force the present tenants to move.

It was further urged that it would be inappropriate for the City to spend so much money for unnecessary changes when it is already over burdened with debt.

All land owners on De Wolfe street were represented as being opposed to the changes.
