opening and Widening Of Dearborn
| Street.
The delay in opening and widening Dear
born street, between Madison and Monroe
appears to us unaccountab1e. The assess
ment for this object was completed last fiji
BY the then Board Of Public Works, and dur
ing the winter and spring the necessary pay
ments were made, and the street could ant
should have been fully opened by the first o
May There Is provision Of the City Char
ter upon this subject which requires the open
Ing OF any street as soon Us the assessment
money is paid into the Treasury. In this CASE
the provision is disregatded. Can any onf
inform us why? Is there political hvorltisn
displayed towards Fuller aud others, by thost
to whom this matter is legally intrusted
What say little Fuller and Comptroller Hayes
we call upon the Mayor, Comptroller, Cor
poration Counsel and Board of Public Work:
fos an explanation Of the delay. The street
cannot be paved until earfrom next spring
unless It is opened Immediately, as the assess
ment must first be made and collected, and
