April 30.—As a precaution against what is regard-d as the threatening gesture of the Turks in concentrating twenty thousand troops along the northern border of Syria. the French government has decided to reinforce its own military strength in the mandate territory by two divi- sions. This will place 46.000 men at the disposal of General “'eygand. who sails this week for Beirut to take over the duties of French high commissioner in Syria and command- er of the army in the east. The reinforcement of the 26,000 French troops already in Syria was decided upon. it was understood at conferences between l'remicr Poin- care and General Pell. French high commissioner at Constantinople and head of the French delegation at the Lausanne conference. General Pelle has been assured by Ismet Pasha that the Turks were not concentrating their forces against France. but the Paris government looks with disfavor on what it believes to be an effort by Angora to exert pressure on France in the Near East. ___._.—_— lAC EXEMPLIFICATION "vi Degree banquet given by ‘ ninn No. 46.

N.» to Dr. ' OFTWOSTRETS Board of Freeholder-s to Be Appointed for Catherine Street Widening. MEETING AT 8 O’CLOCK TOMORROW NIGHT Action Will Have to Be Prompt on Kantor Offer. Consideration of the possible widen- ing of Main street. First District; Washington street. Second Distrtét. and the appointment of a board of freeholders on the widening of Cath- erine street from Wilton avenue. will be given at the public hearings to be held tomorrow night by the Common Council at an adjourned meeting to be held in the City Hall at 8 o‘clock. Daylight Time. In regards to the widening of Main street. prompt action is imperative if the widening is to be done at present. because of the offer of Samuel Kantor of three feet of ground where his new building is to be erected. There are many things to be considered on the w deulng proposition for Main street. among them being the possible pay- ment of damages to property holders who do not wish 'to go to the expense of the attention of their buildings. or who do not wiel'rto give up the neces- sary three feet of land. There is some feeling as well that Washington street‘s widening should be given attention before the Main strcct job is contemplated. due to the fact that the Second District's main artery of traffic is badly congested. ~much more. so than Main street is. In connection with the proposed widening of Washington street, the land has been offered by all property holders along the section to be widen- cd from “‘uter street to the railroad bridge. The railroad company has forward- ed information to Mayor Barton that should the widening go through it may mean an expenditure of between 3250.000 and 8:75.000 for the con- struction of an entirely new railroad bridge through the center. This has not been definitly figured upon how- ever. and there is a possibility that the widening could be done without ,tbs old bridge brinrdons away with. by means of steel girder supports to replace the present space occupied by the stone abutment on the North Main street side.
