mind the great victory of the world war, for it means the 
construction of a noble highway to be called the Boulevard 
of the Allies. Another roadway is to be carved on the 
side of Mount Washington, overlooking the Monongahela 
River. Other items include such useful and important 
measures as new sewer construction, development and 
improvement of parks and park roadways, extending the 
water supply system, extension of playgrounds and im- 
provements to city homes, hospitals and bridges. 
In this connection it is worth remembering that the 
assessed value of taxable property in the City of Pitts- 
burgh reaches the great total of $806,020,730, and that the 
city debt prior to the new bond issue, was $32,500,631.

ity of Pittsburgh’s products is seen in the following alpha-
