I The idea is advanced in connection I with the association's plea that the Schuylkill rl r's embankments be im proved, first -i the east side and ulti mately on tb west side. City offlclas are in accord with the plan, according to Islie W. Miller, sec letary of the association. Chief Albright, of the Bureau of Surveys, he said, haa agreed to make a preliminary survey.
