Wentworth continues to Eabblc about the pas
sage Of an act ' authorizing the Counci! to va
cate streets and alleys" drafted ut tho instance
Of West Siders, to enable them to locate their
Great Union Depot. He charges that Z. Peck
could yacate Scdgwick street, and turn the tray-
Ct upon the Green bay road, and past his own
house." 1t is this miserable scare-crow that he
has been hupping bcf"rc his rcadcrs, day after
day. To give force to the 1inl>y l.u.nbu., lie has
~, Il map made IF the northern blocks Of the
city and rcpnblshcs it as Is standing matter"
lie dattcrs himself that he can gull people intu
believing that Peck has committed high TREASON
against the public in order to promote lis rc-
cuniary ends. II is not very diyniicd bu*-
ness to kick h!Adler, but our readers will pn.-
don us while VIC knock 4 hole into this Sedgwiek
street bag Of gas.
Let tile reader turn to Il city map or take the
one printed in the Urmorrof Suppose Scdg-
wick street to be opened north Of the city limits
until it strikes the lake beyond the boundary Of
Chicago, how would that damage Mr.. Ieck's
property: How would the extension Of that
street to the lakes edge divert traycl from the
Green bay Road: SedEwick street would lead
to no place that travellers want to reach. Ii
