AN unsightly aecretion on Water street,
caused by dumping gravel on the grade in
front OF the stores of Messrs. Eisenbeis
and Gerrish, has caused considerable un-
favorable comment this week. This street
was filled in and leveled to a uniform
grade at considerable expense to the city,

grade should be preserved as originally
laid out. If one citizen has right to al
ter the grade, then another has, and there
would be no end OF infringements on pub
lie right.
