Cnu,c Of general Complaint.

1t Is a source of complaint, not only
with the citizens of the Fifth ward, but
the dissatisfaction is becoming general at
the hardness with which the work OF re-
pairing the San Jacinto street bridge Is
progressing, to say nothing of the fact.
that for nearly two years, traffic over the
Franklin street bridge has been suspended
from what appears to be an absolute DIS.
regard of the convenience OF the public
This trifling with the patience OF the
people is being resented with murmurlngs
CT dissatisfaction at what seems to be
nothing short of fragrant Acknowledgement
and dereliction somewhere. No fault IS
attached to Street Commissioner Kennedy
for the delay in the work Of repairing the
San Jacnto bridge. It is understood that
this work is being directed by an engineer
who lives in Kansas City and who was
brought here as an expert TO pass upon
the security of this bridge, He gave it
as his opinion that while the bridge was
insecure in its original condition it might
be temporarily strengthened until the city
should be in the position to replace II
with a more substantial structure and
when any question arises as to the char
acter of repairs now being made, the work
has to be delayed until the Kansas city
engineer can be heard from. In the mean
time the people are getting very tired of
having the chief thoroughfare between the
Fifth ward and tho city proper thus
blocked to travel
