IT'S ALL DALY'S FAULT.
Property Owners North of
Erie Will Get Square
With the Senator.

The death OF the bill authorizing the
opening and grading of streets for dis
tance of not more than one thousand feet
when the intention is to connect one
street with another. has caused much
disappointment amongst the property
owners north of the Erie Railroad tracks.
But the death of the bill does not by any
means mean an abandonment of the pro-
ject, to open Seventeenth street. The
property owners, headed by President
Patrick Connolly of the Citizens Street
Improvement Association intend trying
another scheme to get The street cut
through. AS yet. the $3.50 necessary 10
be deposited with every petition for An
improvement of the kind contemplated,
is still in possession of the Street
and Water Commissioners. Every prop
erty owner along the line of Seventeenth
street from the Hudson River to the foot
of the Hill, save the company owning
thirty-two lots south of the Erie Railroad
tracks, is willing to bear its quota OF the
expense of the improvement by direct as
sessment, the city bearing its share of the
cost. And this is not all; property own
ess for q number of blocks, either side OF
the street, are willing to bear a reason
able assessment In order to have the
street opened to the Hill.
The objectors TO the scheme are the
members Of an alleged Massachusetts
manufacturing concern, who recently
purchased the thirtY-two lots from Mrs.
A. j. Bishop. The objectors. although
masQuerading as O manufacturing COM
pany. are believed to be the West Shore
Railroad Company. The company. what
ever it is, owns thirty-two lots, and they
were purchased. it is said. with the un-
do1,d md inn
should be placed in the path
OF the proposed Improvements.
Once possessing the lots however. the
cC-apany, through its agent, objects, and
intimates also that IL is going to erect
works and gobble up strip of land ex-
tending along the line OF Seventies nsh
street, twelve feet wide, and owned by the
city, 1t having been acquired for water
main purposes.
Corporation Counsel Edwards has done,
and is doing all in his power TO aid the
street opening and now the movers
of the scheme intend urging every
property owner to ask for the
Street and Water Commissioners, con-
trolling the strip twelve feet wide along
tho street, to approve OF the street open
ing, making it by direct assessment, as
with other streets.
On the evening ne March "a the Citi-
zens' Street Improvement Association
will meet. Resolutions condemnlug
Senator Daily aud his actions in relation
to the bill will be passed, and the new
petition outlined, if not drawn up, pre-
paratory TO being signed.
The complete Knockout of the bill.
which was presented for the relief of the
Seventeenth street properly owners was
Carroll. The death of the bill has put an
end to much building which was to nave
been done during the summer months.
