General Passenger Agent Lee had no ex-

there came a message from Easton to hold
all west-bound traffic. 1t is alleged that the
latter message was overlooked. Some say
it was not handed to the operator. but

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
The Journal some days since reported a
suit for 5000 damages brought against the
city by party who caught a foot under
the projecting cap of water pipe at the
corner of Park avenue and st. Clair street.
This might be a good time TO inquire
whether something may not be done by
moral or legal suasion to prevent, in a
measure the DETACHMENT and destruction
OF the sidewalk lawn by people who prefer
10 walk on the grass or cut across the cor
ner IL may be seen that the said offending
overhanging cap is on the LAWNS one of
several shut OFFS for water and gas, and
there was no occasion for the plaintiff TO
leave the five-foot cement walk to stumble
over It, A beaten dusty path two and three
feet wide has been worn across the lawn
and the whole corner practically denuded of
grass. The property owner has been heavily
taxed to promote the beauty of the streets,
largely for the benefit and pleasure of his
neighbors, and now he is asked to pay dam
ages TO those who trample down his lawns
least the decency and common sense OBJ
legations of good citizenship. Moreover,
how is the city or the gas and water COM
panies to prevent the caps projecting an
inch or more above the level of the walk
IL the reckless pedestrian has the sovereign
right to beat down and kick away the earth
surrounding them? Is 1t the duty OF the
city or the companies to lower the pipes TO
correspond with the level to which the earth
has been beaten down or scraped out? And
dinance requiring people TO keep TO the
walks? The fact of such a law, though IL
might not be possible or desirable rigfdly
to enforce ii, would do much good and tend
to improve the habits of the average citizen.

Pierre Gray took the floor and told why
so many Of the Democratic votes of the city
were not cast for the Democratic candidates
in the last county election. He said that II
was due to a lack of interest. In the midst
OF what promised to be a strong discourse
on the merits of moral suasion, Controller

visibility of inviting the reporter to leave.
