THE BRoAD.sTREEC TRACK.
Great Nuisance. OF which the Psb
lie Justly CsmpIata.

There IL great complaint about the man.
ner IN which the track on Broad street from
Seventh 10 the City.Hall lot has been pm
down. From Seventh TO Ninth, where
Broad street il paved with grsnite-spalls.
the track Is laid above the pavement and
i, planked up on each side. From Ninth
street to the City-Hall lot, where Broad
street il macadsmiZed, the track Is lowered
10 level wiih lbe street. The upper por.
ton between Seventh and Ninth streets
is very dangerous, and the prospect is that
unless changed 10 a level with the street II
" III cost the city one or more law suits.
On ihe.eycning Of the 18th Of October
MIR. William II. Sutherland stumbled over
the track al the corner OF Eighth and
Broad streets and painfully injured one oi
his knees. Although he went out Tor seYe-
rsl days afterwards erysipeI,s finally set In
in the injured leg, aud on the morning oI
the Sd Of November he died.
About ten days or two weeks ago br.
VirciniUs Newton, sGn-in-iaw Ot Nr. Isaac
Davenport, fell over the track and received
injuries thst have kept him from his busi-
ncss. although he has been able TO 60 out
once or twice since.
A number Of other gentlemen, including
one or more connected with the Dispatch.
have fallen over this track and been more
or less hurt. Such also has been the fate
Of several ladies'.
Another objection raised TO the track Is
that when stone il borne TO the City. Hall
lot the cars on which II il hsuled are left
standing in front Of the BrOsd-Street en-.
gine-house at night. Should q fire bress
out In that neighborhood much property
might lie destroyed before the truck could
be gotten out. when there is no car in the
way there Is no difficulty about getting thus
fire apparatus out promptly.
II will take from three to four ye,rs TO
build the CITY Hall. and the Broid..treet
track should he promptly and properly
fixed to meet the public demand.
