The Sixth District Citizens Independent
Association held its regular monthly meeting
last evening at Bamber Hall Greenvllle.
The meeting was attended by a large num-
Der of property owners, who spent Two
hours in discussing improvements that the
district is sorely in need of. President Ste
phen L. Harvey presided. Mr.. William Zim-
hermann, who owns considerable property
on the West Side of Greenville, n b
was one of the petitioners for a sewer for
the West Side, nae a lengthy address, in
which he scored Contractor Henry Byrne for
the delay in the work. The contract for the
Improvement was awarded to Byrne by the
old Board of Street and Water Commission
ers several weeks ago, but the contractor
has not yet begun work. There is not even
one sewer on the West Side, and for this
reason that pretty section OF the
city has not grown as rapidly
as it should. August Kaiser, John Morrell
and other well known property owners also
scored Contractor Byrne. The motion that
and Water Board on Monday morning to
ascertain why Byrne is not compelled to be-
gin work was unanimously carried. Presl-
dent Harvey appointed Michael Schultz, Sr. I;
August Kaiser, Henry Lembeck, William
Lauer and William Zimmerman.
The citizens also found fault with the slow
manner in which Contractor Byrne Is re-
pairing Ocean avenue. Byrne has the con-
tract for the paving of the thoroughfare,
and Judging from the slow way in which the
macadam is being torn up, the avenue Will
not be paved until winter. Two weeks ago
six employees of Mr.. Byrne started at Myrtle
avenue to rip up the macadam, and today
the macadam is torn up on the west side OF
the avenue as far as Walker avenue, a
distance of about half a mile. The west side
of the thoroughfare between these points
is practically closed to traffic and there are
many complaints in consequence. The citl-
zens want Contractor Byrne to pave the
thoroughtare as the macadam is being torn
up, so that no more than one or two blocks
will be closed to traffic while the work is
progressing. Messrs. L. R. Baldwin, VIM.
Dawes, Thomas ogan and Adam Reid were
appointed g committee to visit the Street
and Water Board at the next meeting and
urge the commissioners the necessity of hav-
ing the work done as rapidly as possible.
President Harvey will meet the committees
at the office of the Board at ten o'clock.

OtuGIS vi lCCClNCo- a 1ChSUHJ uIoSuSS1Oh

the Legislature was censured for not passing
the $1.@ Gas bill. The Assemblyman of the
Eighth district was invited to attend the
next meeting and explain why it was
not passed. A committee consisting
of Messrs. Daniel Black, William Segelken
and William Melchoir was appointed to
visit the Street and Water Board and re-
quest that body to repave Oakland avenue.
The same committee was instructed to see
the North Hudson County Railway author
tiles and request them to take up the old
car tracks on that avenue which are now I'M
used. They are to report at the next meet
ing. A committee was appointed to see the
Board of Aldermen and find out from them
