THE Humpbacked Crossings"

The Union has got Alderman Bennett
interested in the foolish scheme to have
the ''humpbacked crossings" as it is
pleased to term the handsome iron gutter
crossings, removed and the old timed
wooden crossings laid down instead or
else fiat iron crossing. What utter non
sense. We supposed that Alderman Ben
net was too smart to listen the uncertain
though seductively honeyed words of the
Union. 1t has not been very long ago
when this same paper alluded TO him
sneeringly as Citizen Bennett" in con
nection with the city council affairs. 1t
had no use for him then, but now il ''sees
channel in which he may be useful,
and 'casts an anchor to windward." So
now he is My dear Mr.. Bennett"
VIII the Union rise up and tell the peo>
pie single instance in which anybody
was ever injured by the new iron crossings
when properly walking over them7
There has not been a single person ln>
jured nor will not be by these crossings
when the pedestrian walks over them as
human being should walk. If any one
wants to gallop over them like a wild
steer in a corn field, they must take the
consequences. When the funeral form
is in search of an item it is liable to slip
on most anything But as matter of
fact the crossings as now laid down over
the several cutters of the city are all
right, and the city will do an absolutely
foolish thing if it should order them to
be taken up and replaced by wooden
crossings, or even fiat iron. 1t is well
understood that our amiable neighbor, the
Union, expressed the opinion that if a
pavement was not laid down across the
north end of Market square, there would
be music in the air" Its attempt to
bulldezc the street and alley committee
failed as does all its schemes and now its
spleen is being vented upon the new iron
crossings. Who hears as mnch said about
the ''humpbacked crossings" as does the
Union? There is not man in Rock ISL
and who hears all these yarns published
in the 'humpbacked" organ They orig
mate in the brain of the funeral form.
The iron crossings are all right and should
be allowed to remain where they are
The Union cares no more for the safety
of the people than does Hotentott. 1t
is merely venting spite against Alder
man Sinnett and the street and alley com
mittee.
