SEATTLE, January q, 1880.
To THE EDITOR: To those whom busi-
ness compeis 10 reach the city and Ocean
docks. half planked sidewalk and half >
planked street have been mercies for which
they have devoutly thanked the city par
ents. but when both are shut of then mis-
cry recoinmences. II is possible to reach
the Ocean dock on foot by dodglng around
Dexter Horizons bank and making .
Blondin Of ones self from thence along
the side Of the dock, bat a. for going round
the other way, that is simply impossible.
There used to be small piece Of planking
for teams ON Main street from Commercial
to the docks, but since building operations
commenced, opposite the New England,
the only way team can reach the docks
is to drive of the now scarcely visible
plank into the mud and dodge in and out
amongst old lime barrels. and by very.
very careful driving one might possibly
miss the mortar box on one side and
huge pile Of rocks on the other. taking
good caro- to straddie some OF the rocks,
which were evidently too heavy for the
teamster to roll of, so he dropped it
through the bottom OF the wagon. II he
emergss safely through these without
broken axle or knocking of . wheel.
he may reach the point sought
TO be gained. As for going
either up or downoJackson street. that is
out OF the question, ~ that never has been
pianked, and il ID full Of pitfalls So. also.
IL one has business 1T the railroad he has
to pass over what Was once not very wide
bridge. between Main and Jackson. which
10 now more than half occupied, and has
been for nearly week, BY sundry logs and
timbcrs. and. Of course, after waiting .
while. he might possibly Be in time to miss
the train. Would II not be good plan in
stead OF commencing on several streets at
one time. doing little and then shut off
suddenly. 70 tack oil the pieces onto one
street and finish IT.
Truly, The police are peculiar. II . poor.
unfortunats drunk occupies more Of the
sidewalk than ID necessary--o6 to the Gala
boose-but trucks, drays and wagons can
line all the streets ct night without any
thing bsing done about IL. Why not run
Thorn into the pound and compel redemp-
ton, and 50 get enough money to lay more
plank and rails. INDIGNANT CITIZEN.

Gus trouble should the demand of the

of the committee say that the 10000
men who have sent them to present the
schedule are becoming very es;ive over
the delay in obtaining II definite answer
to their demands, and the only thing
that prevents the precipitation of very
serious trouble along the $50 miles of
