john +. Sltulski II the best city Of
fetal that Chicago has ever had. This
II n sweeping assertion. but 1t Is abso-
lutely true. In the course of his able
report to the city council OH the am.
bulance chasers. City Attorney Smil.
ski says:
During my travels Of inspection I
have wondered frequently whether
there was any one In the city Of Chica.
60 who really looked after the affairs
or whether our depleted resources
were NO low rs to even prohibit the
employment Of proper officials whose
duty II should be to care for the phys.
ical condition Of streets. sidewalks and
alleys.
Another dangerous proceeding which
has come to my observation In the tear.
ing up of streets by public utility cor.
poratiOns Immediately after they have
been paved. As an instance will cite
Milwaukee avenue. which was paved
with asphalt from llobey street to
.Armitage avenue last fall. The street
had hardly been paved when some cor.
pOration cut up the asphalt dug holes
ut intervals Of fifty feet and left the
street In u tOrn.up condition, ~ that
to-day within eight months after the
laying Of II new pavement the street
II almost impossible and already sev.
eral accidents have occurred by rea.
son Of the deep holes AMI dcprcssions
TINT have been made nnd left without
repair. One observing these conditions
cannot avoid feeling Of intense dis.
gust ut the innttentiOn nnd seemingly
willful neglect In the performance Of
public duty In this city.
"You have I'M expensive board Of ~.
cal improvements. suppose II II In
the province Of that honorable body to
look after matters Of this kind. hut for
what reasons these conditions are per.
mitted to exist and why block after
block of cement walks IRE built and
the corncr---thc so-cniled public bcne-
tit-permlttcd to remain In a danger.
Gus and dirty condition II something
! cannot understand. II II II the fault
of the law. then II II the duty Of your
honorable body or of the board of 10.
cal improvements tn appeal IN the gen.
eral assembly for the necessary amend.
ments to the special assessment stat.
utcs."
