In the course of the construction OF
the Stimaon block, at the corner Of
Third and Spring Htreets, some of the
neighbors complain that great abuge
is being allowed to go without re-
monstrance from the etreet superintend-
ent. Third street is narrow street at
best and 1t is claimed that the way in
which it has been taken possession OF
by the builders 10 an injustice upon the
small business houses ahgning the
building. The fence has been put very
far out in the street, and instead of put
ting materials inside the fence, bricks,
sand and other articles are dumped out
eide and stay there. SO that half the
narrow street is taken up. Whenever
the wind blows, it sends clouds of dust
over the stocks of goods on the OTHER
side, and kicks on the part OF the busi.
ness men are not noticed. The atten.
tion of the street superintendent has
been called to the matter several times.
The business men on the street are UT
in arms about the matter. :
