request the council to pass an ordi-
nance compelling all people inside the
business limits of the city, to remove
the unsightly verandas and wooden
awnings that are so prevalent. A cit
izen said in relation 70 the matter
In all pretentious cities throughout
the United States, and in a few of the
cities in this territory this nuisance
has long ago been abolished, and it
does seem strange that Seattle should
be behind the times in this respect
Along the line OF Front street, especi-
ally on the east side, the removal of
these porticos would greatly improve
the appearance of many of the struct-
ures, which need all the attention pos
sible 70 make them presentable. Chief
Mitchell's step in this direction is GER
tainly very eommendable and viii
meet the approval OF all people who
have the welfare of the city ut heart. -
