Some of the merchants declare
that business has fallen off greatly
during the last few weeks and they
allege these conditions to be directly
due to the condition of the street.
Those who have shops on the nortn
side of the street, declared that the
merchants on the south side or the
street are getting what business
there Is, because people refuse 10
clumb up and down over the exca-
walton or to walk a block or more TO
find a place where they can get
across the street. The parking OF
cars Is an added problem.
Some of the merchants express
fear that the cold weather will delay
the paving of the street and this VIII
result in the street being In It's pres
ent condition for some lime to ccme.
This they contend will ruin the
Christmas shopping, and they de-
pend on the holiday trade to tide
them over the dull season that fol-
lows.
II is the contention of some that
the installation of the new water
main and It's connections have taken
too long. They point to the fact
that more men should have been
employed on this work so that II
might have been rushed to compile
ton in the least possible time. 1t is
also held that the paving could at
least be started at the intersection
of New Brunswick avenue and Smith
street as the water main has been
Installed at that place. Some de-
!, plore the fact that the forms for the
concrete retaining wall has not even
been placed as yet and point out
that even If the work is started at
once it will probably be month
before 1t will be completed which
means that the street will be more
,r less tied up during the holidays.
