A \vorkman kicked down the harriers, which all this year have blocked the boulevard each side of the sub.way at Oakton street. That signahzed the fact that the subway was af last completed and the continuous six-mile stretch of bGulevard was ready for use. Traffic was comparatively light on the boulevard even on Sunday because the fact it was opened had not become generally known. Postpone Celebration A public celrbration involving sani(ary district officials and Chicago, Evanston and north shore citv .officials had. been planned for Saturciay. This, however, has been postponed to a later . date bec;~use it " ·as thought desirable to keep the road free from a parade or any other obstruction on the dav of the Northwestern-Notre Dame footbal.l game. Sanitary <li~trict officials said earlv this 'veek that the date for the formal opening had not yet been set, and that as yet the program for the .dedication ceremonies had not been entirelv \\'Orkc<t out. October 30, is f avorcd a-s the date for this affair. The boulevard extends along the sanitary canal from Devon avenue to \Vest Railroad avenue immediately north of Grant street. It is built of reinforced concrete, \Yith a ten foot strip on each side of concrete surfacint! designed for trucks and other slow n:oving vrhicles, and a middle 20-foot strip of asphalt surfacing for faster traffic. Subway Finished Last Except for the suh\\'ay · under the Korth\\'cstern trarks on tl1c Madair division just south of Oakton st-reet, th~ boulevarcl has been completed for a vear.
