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
communication to the city
Athers:
1.-THE board of directors of the
thamber Of Commerce of this city
having had the following matter
brought in an urgent to
their attention, and having given
the matter considerable thought.
feel called upon in the interest Of
Its members to bring to your atten-
ton the danger to life. the menace
to the navigation ito small boats
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.
at is therefore respectfully ask
ed that you, the City Council, for
bid the destruction of this hull by
explosives, for there has been rel
ported to this body at least two
very near accidents, wherein pieces
OF scrap iron dislodged by explosives
have fell within a few feet of resi-
dents Of George street. We believe
that the reckless herein re-
ported is sufficient reason for the
protest, nevertheless it is strongly
felt by this board that as soon as
those interested in removing the
scrap iron from the hull have taken
such a quantity that further break
ing UP would be Improbable, the
rest will be allowed to remain as
where it is, to be an unsightly nuis-
Ance for a good many years to come.
sAThis board would greatly appre-
ciate the action of the City Council
should they find it within their pow
err to order at n c the floating and
removal of this hull, that the lives
OF u residents may be properly
odleS udFueu ana the SnOre front IN
marred by half submerged hulls."
The ordinance providing for the
laying of blue stone curbing and ce-
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
q hearing there were 10 protests.
Simon 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
tion.
