Falling in line with those directly
Interested in the blasting operations
being carried on at the foot of
George street, where the hull of a
large iron boat is being dynamited
for salvage, the Chamber of Com
merce presented the following sign
ed communication to the city
fathers:
saThe board of directors of the
Chamber of Commerce of this city
having had the following matter
brought in an urgent to
heir attention, and having given
e matter considerable thought,
Gel called upon in the interest of
is members to bring to your atten-
ton the danger to life. the menace
u LIE lldtlSdLlOA ~ liza ~
and the unsightly appearance the
hull, now lying at the foot of George
street, is to the residents of those
streets along the shore front at this
particular point.
stIt is therefore respectfully ask
ed that you, the City Council, for
bid the destruction of this hull by
explosives, for there has been re-
ported to this body at least two
very near accidents, wherein pieces
of scrap iron d~islodged by explosives
have fell within a few feet of resi-
dents of George street. We believe
that the reckless manner herein re-
ported is sufficient reason for the
protest, nevertheless it is strongly
felt by this boarde that as soon as
those interested lin removing the
fscrap iron from the hull have taken
such a quantity that further break
Ing up would be Improbable, the
where it is, to be an u~nsightly NUS
nee for a good many years to come.
This board would greatly appre-
rlIte the action of the City Council
should they find it within their pow
Err to order at once the floating and
removal Of this hull, that the lives
Of our residents may be properly
safeguarded and the shore front IN
married by half submerged hulls."
The ordinance providing for the
laying Of blue stone curling and &C.
ment sidewalks on George street,
from Roosevelt street to broadway,
! on both sides Of the street, was
brought before the council for final
passage last night. At the call for
hearing there we're no protests.
imon K. Skow. a resident of the
street, asked the council to proceed
with the regular routine, SO as to
bring the matter to completion
within the shortest thine possible.
The advertising for bids will come
up within the course of time, and
the work will be rushed TO compile
lion.
