. Improvement of Fort Wayne Indiana; report for Fort Wayne Civic Improvement Association . a chance to create the best station approach, asfar as I know, of any city of its size in the United States. Itcan be foreseen, too, that the property involved is destined tochange rapidly in value and character. The city must act atonce, or assume the grave responsibility of denying to the fu-ture Fort Wayne the opportunity for any large and fine civiceffect here. It is possible that to secure the plan the propertyowners on Harrison Street would donate the small frontage re-quired for the streets ultimate widening. Certainly they couldafford to do so. In such case a comparatively small bond issuewould buy the lots needed for the station plaza and the halfblock for the park. The development and improvement of thepurchased property, when the time came for that, could beproperly assessed on the frontage. With reference to the track elevation, as the city is to paytwenty-five per cent, of the cost of the overhead crossing at thestreet it has very properly required that the company submit.
