Fails to Act on Plans for
Building New Pier
for Bridge.
INDIVIDUALS GAMERS.
Hundreds of Loads of Earth
Belonging to City Dumped
on Private Ground.

The board of public works is being
publicly criticized by property own
ers for unnecessary delay in putting
through plans for building piers I'M
der the Monroe street bridge.
Because of this delay 1t is said
hundreds of loads of earth that should
go to the city and be used in filling
in Main avenue from Lincoln street
to Monroe street are being dumped
on private proportion property
owned by the Hypotheekbank. 1t is
estimated that 5000 loads of this
earth have already gone onto the
property of the bank. At rs cents
per load. fair valuation, it can be
understood how much the city is
losing by the tardy methods of the
board of public works.
More than two months ago the city
engineers office drew plans for the
piers and submitted them to the
board. Since then the plans have
been held up in the city council be-
cause the board of public works has
not been present at the meetings to
explain the plans and to tell what is
wanted.
The continued procrastination is
adding daily to the value of the prop
erty of the bank, and is proportion
ately delaying a public improvement
that must be made sooner or later
the sooner the better.
