RIVERSIDE
DWELLING
THREATENED

The grading of Wilson street from
Ontario avenue to Huron avenue was
discontinued this morning on account
of the danger of cavein of the bank
below Riverside avenue. Quicksand
was encountered last Saturday by the
contractors. This afternoon members
of the board Of public works will con-
fer with members of the council con-
corning the trouble.
The bank above Wilson avenue has
eaved down to considerable distance
and one of the large frame houses
overhanging the bank on Riverside
is in danger If work is continued
The large sewer mains running
from Riverside are also in danger IL
a cavein takes place and If the main
should break the city would be at
considerable expense.
The grading Of Wilson street has
been disputed point at the city hall
for the past six years The property
owners recently came to the board of
public works and offered to pledge
themselves to the extent of $4,000 to
carry on the work. Before the street
is graded the cost will amount to
considerable more.
