MERCHANTSAGAINST HITCHING

oughfare is too narrow and should be
kept clear as far az possible. 1t certain
ly Injuries our business to have a num-
Der of teams hitched in front here for
hours at a time. and to the exclusion
of customers, who are prevented from
driving in.
Chronis Bros, fruit dealers: An or
dinance like that should be enforced:
People hitch in front of our place and
prevent our wagon from driving in, anu
they also hurt trade.
James w. Hellman, of w. c. Furrey
company, hardware: It Is an outrage
that people should be allowed to block
ade the front of our stores as they do.
Something ought to be done to remedy
it.
Louis Melzer, of Lazarus & Melzer.
stationers: The worst feature Of teams
hitching along the street is the bad odor
that arises. On the other hand, the
hacks should be easy of access to peo-
pie, especially tourists, who may wish
to drive about the city.
w. j. Wren, manager for j. j.
O'Brien & Co., drygoods: J. think that
Spring street should be kept clear OF
vehicles. There are plenty of side
streets unoccupied where the wagons
should stand. 1t will work no hardship
for the owners of the teams, and be OF
much benefit to the merchants. The
present way is an inconvenience as well
as a nuisance.
Shepherd & Son, contractors: The
teams do not interfere much with us;
up here on North Spring street, but of
course further south 1t may be different.
Jos. C. Dutra, cigar dealer: The teams
do not interfere in the least with me,
and l have no particular views one way
or the other about the ordinance.
+. Prinz of the Peoples Loan office:
think the teams are a nuisance, stand
ing in front of the stores. 1t is not so
bad on North Spring street here
near Temple, but between First and
Third streets it is very inconvenient for
the merchants. I am in favor of some
ordinance which will regulate the nuis-
ance.
w. C. Bluett of Mullen, Bluett & Goa
clothiers: There certainly should BI
some modification at least Of the pre-
I ent abuses in the matter of hitchir
