The regarding proposition ana

about as disastrous iNlng as

Whatever the hnal decision,

As 10 is. We have been losing
money daily since the project has
been in the air. We have been
forced 20 cancel many OF our or
derS because We know that with

So far as il affects us. we prac-
UcaIly are Indifferent as to the
outcome of the Injunction, or in
fact as TO whether the regarding
ever is done We have an en-
trance on Mitchell street and the
work they. propose to do on
Whitehall probably will not both
er us much. if at all.
But / do SmpathiZe with the
other merchants and business men
farther down the street an
preciate that il viii affect them
seriously in many instances
WILLIAM BAUER, Bauer Grocery

IL was an outrage for the CITY
to go ahead with tho work with
pay the rents on Whitehall street
as 10 when would be tho hest time
10 tear up the street practically
bringing business to a standstiI
In this section They have cho-
sen a time when il ordinarily
would have been the onrninr of
the busiest time Of the YEAR for
many of us.
