by Contractor Brown. Of Brooklyn. The
workmen finished work at o'clock ON
Sunday morning.
All that was left of the structure was
some half dozen loads of the stucco
covering the framework, which had NOT
been removed up to 10 o'clock this morn
ing.
Complaints Of the nuisance caused by
the obstruction to trafflc and dust from
the stucco were made by members Of
the City Improvement Club living in
Twenty-fifth street. near Madison ave-
nue.. The Bureau Of membranes was
notified and an inspector sent to clear
II away.
Contractor Brown lost 500 on his con-
tract 5000 for the erection Of the arch,
which was one OF the handsomest seen
In the city. When the structure was
about half completed there was a strike
about the employment of non-union labor
and work was stopped for a day or two.
Somebody also stole the plans and
caused further trouble.
The delay from the strike, which was
settled by the employment OF union men,
and the loss Of the plans were the rea-
sons why Contractor Brown came out
a loser on the Job.
