A Hideous Disagreement.

The bridge being built by the Gen.
trail Railway across Communipaw
avenue to reach the Zinc Works, is
going to be a marvel of hideousness.
The stone piers built on private prop
erty on the edge of the thoroughfare
are handsome. but on the edge of the
sidewalk the company has erected
we do not know by what authority
two unsightly wooden trestles, and
the span is apparently to be con-
structed of rough logs.
Now the crossing of this street is
very much in the nature of an out
rage at best. The public rights are
compromised here just to accommo-
date one single private business. The
least that might be expected is that
the bridge should be as light and
handsome as the nature of the case
will permit. The Street and Water
Board should insist on the crossing
being made by a single iron span Oh
not at all.
Apropos, did the Street and Water
Board authorize the erection of the
t~resties on the curb of the sidewalk!

the inferior employees have no autho@
rity to start fires when the weathe
changes, without orders fro IN above.
Whatever the cause may be, the
fact is that last winter the fires were
lit and extinguished without any APP
parent reference to the actual weather
conditions. Last night was the first
symptom of similar eccentricity this
year. Assuredly the matter can be
easily arranged. A gentleman of Mr..
Thurston's experience and executive
ability will have no trouble in settling
it for the whole winter If he will de-
vote half an hour to it.
This is really a most important mat
ter. Health and comfort are both in
volved.
