PAV0NIA AVENUE WORK.
Property Owners Objectt to Any
Further Burdens on One
Part Of the Street.

When the Board of Street and Water
Commissioners called for objections at
yesterday afternoons meeting. IN the
matter of the proposed Improvement OF
Pavonia avenue. from the lands OF the
r. r. r., at Tonnele avenue TO West
Side, Counsellor Otto Grouse, represent
ing Messrs G. G. Van Iteypen and Lloyd
Seamea, per- owners made a foTciDie
protest. Mr.. Grouse said that his clients
We're owners of more than half OF the
property liable To be assessed, and he
commended that the Board had no right
10 change the Improvement contemplated
under a petition made on October u, 1886,
by job M. Jones. With the exception Of
adding a part of the block on Pavonia
avenue, there was no difference between
the Jones petition and the present one.
The block mentioned as being on the
east of Tonnele avenue, Mr.. Grouse con-
tinued, had been graded by the owners
at their own expense according to a
grade ma which cost them $500, and to
burden the lands of these owners with the
assessments for grading. filling in ana
~excavating Pavonia avenue, lying west
of Tonneie avenue, and between that ave
nue. and West Side avenue was unjust,
Again, urged Mr.. Grouse, the part of the
block proposed to be improved east of
Tonneie avenue, had an outlet to the east
ward. The street ended at the Pennsyl-
bridge built spanning that cut the pro-
posed Improvement was useless, and an
unnecessary burden to the property own
ers. To the improvement west of Ton
nele avenue his clients made no objection,
but to that east, a decided one.
A resident of the n~eighborhood at that
point urged the Board to grant the i'm
provement, because he said there was no
way in which children could reach School
No. %, excepting through the sand. A
fire box was being erected on the corner
of SIP and Garrison venue and unless
the Improvement to West Side avenue
were made there was no way to reach
Marion or Johnstown in case OF fire.

quest the chief Of police to enforce strictly
