THE WASHINGTON nOU-
LEEAI1D.

The property-owners on West Washington
| street are growing at the manner in which
that thoroughfare is being ' inproyed,'' and
! the Park Commissioners are abused by them
| for the expensive mistakes they have made
and their Indifference at the course Of Anl-
berg, the contractor for the grant, who, they
say, is doing about as lie pleases, without ref
erence to his contract. The catch-basins
were misplaced and had to be moved at a
cost Of several thousand dollars, and tho
lamp-posts were shifted inside the lot lines,
and will have to be put back Oh the corners
at considerable expense. But these two mis-
takes are Insignificant, the citizens say, COM
pared with another, which some think will
mar the beauty of The street and not give
them what they are entitled to for their
money.
The ordinance for the improvement of
/ Washington street provided for Il stone pave
nlcrt, and that the grant to be placed OIL top
vi tile limestone foundation should be in the
form of cubes which should pass through all
inch ring. In letting the contract, however,
the Commissioners Quilted the word 'cube''
altogether, and increased the size of the rng
half an inch. Louis tAMberg, who is. or has
been, a banker. was the successful bidder for
q week ago, and two blocks have already
been covered with the stone. Any one ,Fho
will walk along Washington street between
1Ialsted and Peoria can see that the
SlcdlcI phit u IL WILL iOL liSS through
4 two-inch ring, and about {, fifth
Of it cannot be forced through one
three inches i'll diameter. Mr.. Wilson, tho
engineer i'll charge Of the work, has twice
called tho attention OF the Park Board to the
fact that the stone is not according to cDn-
tract, but they have taken no steps to make
Amberg comply with the specifications. For
some REASON or other the Commissioners seem
to be afraid Of him; utlerwise they would
not allow lin to put on the street such stone
as suits him. lie is required to cover The
top as dressing with grant siftings four
tenths of all inch thick, but this will disap-
pear after i rain and the r0ad be in such q
condition that Il horse cannot trot on it.
All who see the pavement say the grant will
have to be covered with something, and the
property-owners fear the Commissioners will
adopt gravel, and thus give them what they
do not want$
The improvement of West Washington
streetfs such 4 botch that many of those who ]
arc'eXpected to foot the bills say they will ]
not pay their assessments, because they ara
not getting what the ordinance calls fora !
stone streetft to travel oyer. About S2S0, 900 !
of the S3350,0o0 assessed is yet uncollected, |
and the feeling against the Park Commits
sioners is SO bitter that it is not improbable,
unless they compel Anlberg to follow his |
contract, that all injunction will be applied !!
for to restrain them from going ahead, and ]
all order of court to compel them to conform |
to the ordinance In constructing the boule- |
ward.

have houses in New York and Chicago as
