 People who cherish the hope oi some day seeing the official name o1 East Main street changed to Broad way claim that they never felt an noyed over the attitude of the depart ment of public works with reference to Broadway signs, because they were sure of their ground before the signs were put up and knew the su perintendent of streets had no right to interfere with them. Some of the merchants make out their bills tnat way and say that their goods come ad dressed to Broadway instead of Bast Main street. If this thing continues the time will come when the city gov ernment will be forced to yield u take steps to see if they can provs that the Broadway finger boards constitute a public nuisance and gel the courts to order them removed.
