COMPLAINTS AGAINST THE EIGHrH.Av RAILROAD
COMPANY Since the last heavy fall Of snow, tho
Eigbth.av Railroad Company, to keep their track In
running order have resorted to the use Of tho snow
pillow, thereby forming high snow ridges ON the track.
to the great annoy ance Of pedestrians having occa-
sion to cross the avenue. Many and grievous COM
plants of the nuisance have been mado by the cit-
zeDs of the Sixteenth Ward to Capt. Stevenson, whs
yesterday presented the following report OF the mat
ter to Chief Matsell:
| great deal OF inconvenience has been experiences
and great deal of dissatisfaction expressed at the
manner in which the Egbth-sv. Railroad Company
have obsr ucted the crossings during the present
-storm; they have used their pillow, and By
| its operations the snow has been formed In three
ridges-oRe either side, and one In the centre OF
the track; this matter Of course, would not have
been objected 10, had they opened the crossings
where the streets intsrsect the but this not
having been DONE pedestrians are obliged to climb
these ridges which In all cases was exceedingly
iIconvenient and unpleasant, especially to To-
males and children. Perhaps the right TO obstruct
the thoroughfare Of the avenue is merged in the vgk
Of ray; II So need not complain. Our Street Goa
tractor hoped would have come to the rescue.
But no be has maintained "a dignhed neutrality"
and the poor foot passengers have been len TO climb
over or wade through the ridges, a. best they could.
Something, certainly, ought to be done TO prevent
| repetition Of this In future.
