RECkLESSSESS OF CONTRACTORS AND BUILD
ERs-If municipal law can be made to reach aayth!nz
its operations should be brought to bear upon ca.
tractors and builders, whose utter disregard of the
comfort ard even the safety Of the public 10 so no;)-
rous. Go where you may you can scarcely walk five
blocks without being obliged cross the street or
wade through the mud around yswning csverns and
chaotic ard ;oterng piles of brick and stone Not only
Is their f third Of the street tab up but in many
they take he whole Of the Sidewalk and keep it
for weeks and if mistake not there is now nD;o
rous instance in Broadway where vehicles most do
congregote in which the builder has blockaded the en-
tire sidewalk for two months or more In some in
stances hey leave the walk apparently OPEN but
cumberd with beams, planls, window caps, mortar
beds &c, that ones life is IL peril should be venture
into heloby rinth after nigha for Of these
iul builders afford TO light up their mantraps We
have not only received several complaints Of injuries
10 citizens caused by this carelcssness but have the
painful evidence OF our own bruised limbs 10 the fact
II the only persons to receive fractured limbs in such
pitfalls the responsible partics should feeles
inclined TO interfere; the disesse might work is own
remedy. But the evil il intoleru1le it IL past entur
ance To see ladies and children, AMI dccrepit old men,
forced inc Tic slippery mud in the midst Of chaos Of
wheels aid hoops and this By thousands day after day
and all TO crafty the laziness Of slowmolded
On one side IL there il not law enough for such
GAGS Let stringent ordinance be forthwith passed
and charge the Police the people Themselves
witt its execution In some Of the large European
ci,ie buders are allowed 10 the street at all
for store room, and but very small portion OF the side
wak u Paris the only barbados are those made By
the pe0ric: there you builder set TO work
at distsnce az if eiging enemys fortress. Now,
why not have the comforts he.el Let hebulder
have the ird perhaps the half tic sidewalk next 20
the .l Ing md make him either bring his material
It l. needed or store it in the building; and in taking
down foil the same rule and never allow load o.
rubish to remain in the street night Nnetea.hs
Of The paints about crowdng Broadway arise from
brick-pyramids alone If contractors have so much
.more Teht TO the street than people that this
csunot be done VIC nay least hope that something
will be done TO keep safc pasagc where there any
81 an Tor foot passengers. Stopping the use Of the
walk all s bad enough, bot 10 leave It open, jul OF
ills and holOws and etrewn with rocks beams broken
plenks lime barrels and dnks Is altogether too
bad. If dry goods merchant puts pile of hand 'ome
prints outside his window ten to lie ia ordered to
cease obstlucirg the streets but contractor
to be different of fish ard the subject Of entirely
different treatment. VIII the proper oficersif such
there be-look into this gieyous nuisance, and de-
wise an efficient remedyl
