Residents OF Twenty-third and Mar

q warrant against the Wilmington City

violating a Street and Sewer regulation

came effective on May 1. The dust has
been most annoying to pedestrians and
householders on Market street from
the Brandywine Creek bridge TO
Twenty-eighth street. A thick layer
of dust is deposited upon the porches
Of houses every day, and whirlwinds
Of it are thrown into the faces and
over the clothing of pedestrians.
