HUNG-UF IMPROVEMENTS
Many Sewers Petitioned for
by Property Owners
Effect on Values.

The Street and Water Commissioners
have before them, petitions for the grad
ing, paving and sewering of streets in
various parts of the city, which. If re-
ported upon favorably. will affect, more
or less, real estate in various localities.
Commissioner Dugan, Chairman OF the
Committee on Streets, has charge OF all
petitions, and to his credit, 1t must be
said that where an Improvements is pos
sibility, he urges 1t ahead and does al 10
his power to prevent improvements from
being hung up"
The unsettled condition of affairs OF
late in the city government has resulted
in putting check upon public improve
mentS. Among those which have been
reported upon favorably by the Street
and Water Commissioners, and are now
Slumbering in the pigeon holes OF the
Board of Finance is the Improvement
OF Haliady street, from Communtpaw
avenue to the Newark and New YORK hall
road. This Improvement was petitionsd
forsby Robert W. Phillips and others. The
street at the present time is almost i'm
passable Houses rent poorly on the street,
but the property owners along the line
feel that the improvement when made
will ada value OF at least one-thlrd 10
their realty.
E. r. Vessels and others are endeavor-
ing to secure private drains in the vicinity
of Summit avenue and Crawford street.
Frank Clark and other property owners
on Union street are making a substantial
kick about the miserable drainage
of that street. The street Is severed
but receiving basins are few and far be-
tween, and pools of staguant water al
ways grace the driveway. Mr.. Clark
has asked the Street aud Water Commits
sioners to have receiving basins erected
at Union street and Arlington avenue
and at Randolph avenue.
j. McAusland and others have pc
titioned for the construction OF a sewer
in Seventh street, betweeu Monmouth
and Brunswick streets. This petition is
still in tns hands OF the committee. IL
will be passed upon. however, as soon as
the Board of Finance concurs in few OF
the improvements now hung up.
A brick oval sewer for Central avenue.
beginning at q point 100 feet south OF
Irving str &c extending to the joint Sc wer;
another rom Hague to Poplar streets,
and a third from Poplar to Irving streets,
have been petitioned for and passed upon.
The Board of Finances concurrence is all
that is necessary to have the sewers be-
guD.
Francis N. Bostwick and others have
petitioned for d sewer in Arlington ave-
nue. to extend between Arlington aud
Myrtle avenues. This Improvement will
be made.
William Zimmerman and others have
petitioned for main sewer in Girard
avenue, but there is a hitch in the
matter. The Street and Water Com
missioners had refrained from acting
upon the petition because Girard avenue
is included in the territory to be drained
by the sWoodlawn sewer. TO construct
the Girard avenue sewer would necessi-
tot no rhu
WoodlaWn sewer.
Another improvement which is to be
made is the opening of Pavonia avenue
from Garrison to West Side avenue.
The Board of Finance will be urged by
the Street and Water Commissioners to
pass upon all the improvements at once,
now hung up in their Board.
