b. cr.s, many equally good men for this new amer
taking 81 John Genin. but do not know shen ana
a. we DO know that be q good one W. hope ne ~h Dc
sustained in sp to Of any Jealousy that nsafests sde're
TO stop his ooera,cas We also hsPe that the business oil
sprrk lsg will be PCT under his control IS we know ns
will REQUIRE the stree, to be sprinked and not daiusei
We also want COMMON spdnklng machine sacn IS
they use in Boston There Is one mors thing wanted
and that for every occupant Of building on the sees
to sweep the Sidewalk clean every evening and keep 81
the pings Of the day boxes until the melt evening
before putting them ths street. and than 81 the dirt VIII
60 of before morning
Now IN view of the fact that far dust aud loose
dirt concerned hsve 30, tbs great o. oar City
clean and have kept 50 at raing expense va re-
quest in behalf of the people large that proper aa
thores shall abate TIE ntoersble nuisance inflicted upon
Us BY every man who pulls down puts up buiding
We take for example building the OF Broad
ysy and Canals For almost year the contractor has
had possession of about hundred feet on Canal and
Ii-p.pard sta and the whole width between them on
Broadway and one valuable citizen has lost his lie IN
that deshtrap Month after month the Sidewalk has been
turned into ston ecueers shop, and those who have
right 10 Il cro.ded into the mud The unnecessary injury
TO the people Of the City has been OF more value than the
lard anG building Is worth issn outrage upon decency
ard common TO allow any individual to dsconn'de
the .hos world for his oTn convenience oat Ia
TN, case he has not even that justification, for
be hss had 10 need thus 20 obstruct these streets
There is another building opposite the ST Nicholas Hotel
which has been hong holding exclusive possession
Of the street. keeping pile of loose dirt in the carisgs
rsy long enough to hold it by right Of possession. while
he sidewalk he's been superiatvely shameful There
marble building opposite the Park in the same category
and the occupancy of ten feet wids OF that part OF the
street by that long line OF hacks is an exhibition OF noe
City or the part Of City Government which cannot
be eqused in any other town earth. because there
no more need Of keeping them there than hsre for an
Alderman to keep common sense in bis Uranium Park
place is broad street and thorOughare aud the
hacks would be equally convenient to the public there
and far Ices in the way than in their present location
We have only spoken Of street nuisances IN Broadway
we should 20 into other streets we could make up cat
aocue that would aston,h all who read it There is one
example OF the way individuals are allowed 10 use streets
at the corner OF Beekmsn ard Nassau.

brother Mr. Simeon Leland Alarge number Of the guests
were presert and much manifested in the cere
mony This is very gratifying testimonial 10 msn who
have by unremi,ting industry high and deservedy
boporsb place the head of OF the most extensive
and magnificent hotels in the world. and will be more
warmly apprtc iaed by them than any other public and
osten,atous testimonial could have been.

Themselves Of the contents Of its well filed shelves or Its

attracted thther We well remember the time when
such institution would have been precou, feast OF
endowment and profit and there doubtless many young
printers as yet strangers in City to whom it is Of in
e,timable value Those who complain that the As'or
Library il managed too stidousy that it not open
