yesterday afternoon. necesstated the clos
ing of 9Th avenue between Smithfield and
Wood streets today. This square is the
most important in the city and much in
convenience is being experienced by bust
ness houses and Saturday shoppers. Nearly
all the stores in the block are closed and
street cars are using the 4th and 9th ave-
nue. routes.
This afternoon several streams Of water
are still being directed on the Avenue Thea
ter and an inspection shows that the old
playhouse has sustained damage beyond
repair. The auditorium Of the Grand Opera
House, in the rear of the Avenue Theater,
suffered only from water, but the entrance
from 9th avenue and the side walls were
somewhat damaged.
large force of men are employed erect
ing scaffolds preparatory to tearing down
the wall facing 9Th avenue, which has
sagged. Building Inspector Dies Is making
an official investigation, and 1t is probable
that the Avenue Theater building will have
to be RACED.
