LooR AFTER YoUR BALcoNIEs-On the
Sth of next month the State Fair opens in
this city, and from present appearances
and the splendid attractions offered, it bids
fair to far exceed any previous exhibition
ever held in the State. On the second day
of the Fair-AdmiSsion Day-the Native
Sons of the State will have a grand parade
through the principal streets. On that
occasion the balconies, all along J and X
street, from Front to Tenth will be crowded
with men, women and children, in order TO
get better view of the procession. That
the balconies are, i'll four cases out of five,
old and decayed, and that there have been
several accidents caused thereby during the
past three years is sufficient reason for the
urging OF property-owners to look after
their property and put the same in proper
repair, Within the past year two balconies
have fallen on J street, and i'll both in
stances the weight that caused their giving
way was TWO girls. Luckily in each case
no one was hurt, because no one happened
to be on the sidewalk beneath. Let such
an accident occur on Admission Day
where elbow room on the sidewalk
Will be at 4 premium, and the result
cannot be otherwise than serious. Two
EtltllNtIit4I NtSlcitlslN, III Il Walk On the Nv q
principal streets counted no less than four
teen balconies that are nothing more nor
less than death traps. One. apparently the
most dangerous of all, is on the southwest
corner of Eighth and J streets. The bal
cony cxteTFis on both streets, has an out
side stairway, admitting in procession times
everybody, and capable of holding, if prop
erly anchored, 800 persons. In its present
condition it would not hold fifteen-per
haps not half SO many. 1t has pulled out
M the corner entirely from the building
The corner projecting into the street is at
least foot out of line. Some on X street,
and others OH Fourth street are equally as
bad
