Letters from the People.

EDITOR STAR As yon have supported AMI
advocated many projects for the Improvement
OF Washington, snch AZ removing all bulletin
boards, swinging signs, &c, but have neglected
greatest nuisance extant the Avenue.
| would ask and hope for q successful effort on
yonr part in having the miserable awnings along
Pennsylvania avenue removed. They are of
the most diapidated condition and representing
more eOlOrs than are contained in the rainbow,
which destroys the effect of our beautiful Ave-
nue.. Not only on this account should they ne
re moved, but tor the reason that they extend
beyond the line allowed by law and are hung
so low that in many cases persons over five fest
high cannot pass under them without having
the hat. bonnet or head knocked nearly of.
Your efforts in this quarter will oblige many
constant readers OF your valuable paper.
Very respectfully, j. A. X.
Washington, January ;, ISL.
