On the former the committee recommended refusal; the latter plan was approved. It was recommended by a real estate eompl:; that multiple family dwellings be erected on the West Park tract, and plans are going forward for building an apartâ€" ment house at that section. The bridge at Park avenue, now closed, will be repaired, it was announced, instead of building a new one, Zoning Bids for constructing three bridges were rejected by the counâ€" cil, because they exceeded the amount appropriated, $250,000. It was decided to make a change in specifications regarding the Linâ€" den avenue ‘bridge, and readverâ€", tise for bids, hoping for a lower estimate. The City\Council voted at the Monday night meeting to take steps to reinforce the water wall protecting the waterworks at the foot of Park avenue. The gradual washing away of the shore near the waterworks has made this imâ€" perative to prevent undermining the walls of the building. H. J. Carton, Chicago engineer, was apâ€" pointed to prepare an estimate for strengthening the wooden wall with steel piling. Work on Bridges Seawall At Park Ave. To Be Reinforced will issue a notice.

Dr. Hayakawa, the distinguished authâ€" or of "Language in Action," was born in Vancouver, Canada and considers himself an American. His early life was very much that of any Canadian boy. He knew only enough Japanese to converse with his mother, but he did know most of the words and music of Gilbert and Sullivan‘s "The Miâ€" kado." _ _ It was hoped that he would join his father‘s importing business, but his ambition turned to scholâ€" arship and teaching. At the Uniâ€" versity of Manitoba he lived at the home of the late Wm.. T. Allinson, the distinguished critic, which conâ€" firmed his literary interest. As a graduate student at McGill Uniâ€" versity he naturally became a member of the circle of talented writers known as the "Montreal Group." With his M. A. from Mcâ€" Gill he started teaching Freshman English at the University of Wisâ€" consin where ha capped his scholâ€" arly career with aPh. D. in 1935. He saw that the use of language too often prevented intelligent thinking and aceurate communicaâ€" tion. His ideas for factâ€"mindedness instead of wordâ€"mindedness have taken form in his many writings on Senanties, best known of which is his wellâ€"known "Language in Action."
