WHO CAUSED L

3, The Park Commissioners who opposed
q riverside walk at the Harlem Speed
way are now charging their associate,
Commissioner Dana, who favored two
sidewalks. with obstructing the work
and thus delaying the employment OF "A
large number OF laborers, many of whom
are probably now idle.
Mr.. Dana opposed the award OF tho
contract for the construction of the speed
way In the belief that It ought to have
contained specifications for the two side
walks. This may have caused some de-
lay In the beginning of the work. be
cause Mr.. Dana's non-attCndance at the
Boards meetings prevented the opening
of the bids. But II Commissioned Stratus
had not been absent on n pleasure TRIP
there would have been n quorum of the
Board without Mr.. Dana, and the bid
coul hav been opened on the day first
fixed for the opening.
This, however. caused n postponemcnt
Of . few days only. But for the obstinate
opposition OF Mr.. Dana's associates tc
the two sidewalks, in contraventlon OF
the peoples rights and in defiance OF
public sentiment! the work might have
been commenced many weeks ago.
The true ohstructlonlsts were the Com.
missioners who wanted to shut tho
people out of n riverside walk. They
cannot shift the responsibility onto any
other persons shoulders. Let them Sc,

lay, but the Court set the case down

There was "A large crowd in court to

Annoyed on Centre Street.

To the Editor:
I wish TO call attention to a nuisance that cx.
lists at the corner OF Centre and Chambers streets.
| frequently have occasion to pass up Centre street
towards the Post-Ohice about II p. NJ. and | am
nearly always annoyed by women, who seem to
make their headquarters around the pole and In
the shade OF the electric light lamp at the south
west corner OF Centre and Chambers streets. Lone
~ pedestrians who may seem likely prey passing
thil way after . or $50 7. VI. meet with a storm,
OF entreatIes. solicitations or vulgar remarks.
The place No, II Centre street is pointed out
as being a desirable place to patron!zc. The side
walk from the commencement OF Centre street
towards Chambers street Is patrollei by the vul.
lures. Two policemen sometimes meet under the
awning of the saloon opposite Engine House No.
7, yet on such occasions these birds of prey do
net take to night. How is it? DO the police not
know Trusting that this may be Of beneat in
obtaining a remedy to such a disgrace,
WILLIAM S. JOHNSON.
