THE Directors Of the Street and Sewer

evening, received the resolution of con-
domination from the citizens Of Fourteenth
and Scott streets, and said the charges
were unjust and absurd. Pre- ,idcut Pratt
said the Department had done Nil i'll its
power to facilitate the work that Pennsyl-
vania avenue was not vacated and that it
belonged to the city. The city never
grades sidewalks for any property owner
sod that no improper delay has been al
lowed in grading Scott street. The Di-
rectOrs think the criticism of the property
owners who took part in the mass meeting

On their par; as the Street and Sewer De-
partmcnt had done everything in their
