COMPLAIN OF SIDEWALK.
Section on Seventh Street in Need O,
Repair, Citizens Saw.

In reporting to the Commissioners upon
the condition of the sidewalk on the west
side of 18th street between II and X
streets northeast, which has been the
cause of several complaints recently. G.
b. Hunt. engineer of highways. admits
that the walk is in bad shape and saws if
a representative percentage of the abut-
ting property owners should ask for the
construction of new cement sidewal TX
he will recommend It,
The most recent letter received bv the
commissioners in which COMPLAINT is
made about the condition of this sidewa TX
was received yesterday from Charles p.
Peake. 9l2 9TH street northeast His prin-
cipal objection to the walk is that il is
below the grade of the curb and that
mud from lots facing it is being cont.n-
ually washed upon it, making walking in
convenient and disagreeable.
Upon the recommendation of Engineer
Hunt the Commissioners have refused tie
request made several days ago by w. F.
Nash OF I'D NJ street northwest for the sci
ting of an old curb on l. street between
South Capitol and Half street southwest
and his request for the paving of an alley
in that square. In recommending this ad-
verse action Mr.. Hunt explained that II is
not the policy of the Commissioners to use
old curb on city streets and that there is
no urgent necessity or demand to war
rant the paving of the alley in question
at this time. TIE says the paving of the
alley would doubtless be objected to by
other property owners because they
would have to stand for an assessment.
