When Docs Forbearance Cease to be n
E1rtue1

The Pass AND TRIBUNE has before this called
attention to the villainous condition Of North
Clark street. Our correspondent s. so forcibly
GUMS up the dangers to be encountered On that
z:ythical thoroughfare, that VIC print his letter
entire:
MEssa,, Ep1rons: Are rot the citizens Of
North Chicago-Gnd especially those who do
business md own property On North Clark
street-a quiet, forbearing and accomplishing

For mauy years pust. ta.fe has been ecarcely
a summer that North Clark street has not been
torn up to rf-gyad<, or retpzznk, OF soater-pipa

or broken-down bridge. During all this time,

making this article too long. It would astonish
any one unacquainted With the facts to cross

walk on either side Of the street; and the rail-
road cars and building materials occupy I'LL the
centre. There is North Clark street laid out on
the map of Chicago; but is there any such
street open: Would it not be well for the
property holders and business men Of that
thoronghfaEe 10 call meeting, and If no measures
and passab!e, then petition the Council oya-
cate it. People should no longer be decoyed
to risk their lires in attempting to cross the
river. where there is no bridge in repair, no
sidewalk, no street, Yours, S.
