Has Detroit
a Soul?

Five of Detroit's great temples of religion appeal to you to aid
in their preservation at the election October Gth.

Two plans to widen Woodward Avenue will appear on the bal-
lot, one (the first plan on the ballot) will mean the virtual destruc-
tion of these great churches. The other would put the widening on
the opposite side of the street, at no greater cost, and preserve the
churches.

ti

While this latter plan provides for widening Woodward Avenue
only between Adams Avenue andWatson , Street, the churches have
no objection to the adoption of the City Plan beyond that point by
the Common Council.

VOTE Tuesday for the defense and preservation of these
churches by casting your vote for the second proposition on the
Woodward Widening ballot.
