4 PETITION THAT SHOULD BE GRANTED
The sidewalk On Michigan Avenue, between
Madison and Washington streets, is in an
abominable condition, and it is to be hoped, as |
the ladies' have petitioned the Board Of Public |
Works to abate the nuisance, or rather to |
make the property owners do it, that tile mat /
ter will receive carly attention. Of course |
nothing can be done just now, but We trust it
will be put down among the nuisances to be
abated as soon as the Spring opens. The fol
loving petition, signed by a number Of ladies',
has been presented to the Board Of Public
Works:
