FOR ryoRSTRUCTED STREETS.

A hill has been introduced at Albany to re-
strict the use Of streets and sidewalks III ms
city for the storage of building material. Tho
measure has been proposed by tho association
of citizens who have lately Interested themselves
in the preservation and identifying of Fifth
ave., and it deserves to be treated fairly in dis
cussion and passed without unnecessary Decay
The blocking of our streets by builders for their
own convenience without regard to the con-
ycnence OF tho public, is an outrageous abuse
of the rights of all, and easy federation is con-
stanty aggrayating it. The proposed law does
not inllict any severe hardship upon owners or
contractors, but merely restores to the COM
munitv rights which have been seAfshly appro-
priated by individuals. 1t permits the use OF
mart of the street in front Of the lot on which q
building is under construction for the delivery
and storage of heavy material, but only whilo
such occupation is really essential to the work.
When the building has " reached tho floor Of the
first storyr the street and sidewalk are to be
cleared at no time are they to be used rs a
storage place for brick, lime, sand, mortar and
other miscellaneous building material, or as
dumping place for the products Ct excavation.
This restrictive measure is capable CT secur-
ing a much needed reform. Universal expert
encc proves that the abuse which it seeks to
correct has reached almost grotesquc proper
tons American good nature is proverbia, but
some of its manifestations are not at all cred
table 1t is not only absurd but disgrace
full, that almost the whole population OF tho
city should be continuously subjected to serious
annoyance and discomfort, and to various dam
gers. in order to save a minute minority little
trouble and expense. There ought to be a
prompt and forcible demonstration Of popular
opinion in favor Of this bill
