able Condition.

! aDle OOEl0ltAOHs
Ocean Avenue is Greenville's most promi-
nent thoroughfare but the sidewalks on
either side of the streeAare far from being
in ANYTHING like perfect condition. When
the sidewalks were laid originally they COM
pared favorably, no doubt, with those of
| the other streets in the CITY, but what wear
| and tear" failed to do to place them in their
present condition was done, strange as it
may seem, by contractors.
The sidewalks from Gator to Woodlawn
| avenues, a distance of nearly a half mile,
| are in a most disgraceful condition, and al
! though the property owners have com
planned to. the Street and Water Commits
sioners, mo effort has been made to repair
them. Contractor Henry Byrne a few
months ago built a under the side
walks from Gator to- Woodlawn avenues.
and when he completed the work his work
men made no effort to grade the sidewalk
or to lay the flags as they found them. The
open trench which had to be made all along
the thoroughfares was filed in, in q careless
manner and the flags were thrown, not laid,
on top. No attempt was made to lay any
two adjoining flags ON a level with each
other. and as a result, when the workmen
left, the sidewalks looked as though a vol
canic eruption had taken place. Last week
the sidewalks on both sides of Ocean ave-
nue., at Stevens avenue, caved In and now
there are Two large nOleS bnefe. line StreeU
and Water Board was also notified of this
cave in, but the dangerous holes have not yet
been filed in.
The property owners are very indignant
over the manner in which Contractor Byrne
has mined the sidewalk and a petition to
Mayor Wanser requesting him to compel
Mr.. Byrne to put the sidewalks in the condi-
ton in which he found them is talked Of.
One of the kicking property owners, when
interviewed by a reporter of The JERSEY
Cry NEWS last evening, said:=
Street and Water Commissioners to compel
Mr.. Byrne to relay the sidewalks. The COM
missioners sent Inspector Muldoon to inspect
the sidewalks and that official notified us
that we, the property owners, would have
to repair the sidewalks. This satisfied us
that we would secure no help from the
Street and Water Commissioners so we will
request the Mayor to bring both Mr.. Byrns
and the Commissioner to tiine.v
