Property owners in Sugar Grove
! addition today made a forceful APP
! peal to Mr.. F'ixit to obtain better
thoroughfares in that locality. Mr..
: F1xit was able to obtain the promise
Of an investigation.
DEAR MIR. FIXIT: We, the tax
payers of Sugar Grove addition, ask
you if you will try and get cinders
put on Olney st. from Thirtieth to
Thirty-Second SITS, and one street
east and one street west on Thirty
Second st. This street is in very
bad shape. Mud is so deep when it
rains we can not get out. If anyone
gets sick, no doctor will come out
here and in the fall our children
can not get to school. So try and
help us if you can. We are readers
of the Times.
Z SUGAR GROVE TAXPAYERS.
Thomas e. Newsom, assistant
street commissioner will investi-
gate but declares that the depart
ment can not construct new
Z streets. Gravel is on hand, but
the department has no cinders.
DEAR. MR.. FIXIT: The street
has been torn up about block north
Of Fall Creek on N. Meridian st. and
filled in with gravel, which has left
it in not only a dangerous condition,
but vrey disa greeable to cross be-
cause Of it's bumpy condition. Will
: you please see what can be done to
have this street fixed, as it has been
this way several weeks?
CHARLES E. ALIVE
Investigation will be made socu
by Otto J. Smelcer, superinten-
dent of improved streets.
TO MRS. E. F., S31 CHURCH ST:
The board of health will attend to
your request at once, according to a
promise made to Mr.. Fixit.
DEAR MR.. FIxIT: Please have
the city clean up the junk on street
corners in downtown section and
some outlying corners. This is
dangerous, as T stumbled over some
boards at the corner Of Washing
ton and Illinois SITS. and had nice
fall. The visitor will appreciate this
very much and many others, too.
ga VISITOR"
John r. Walker, superintendent
Of the street cleanig department,
said instructions were to clean all
downtown streets thoroughly. He
believes the boards you mentioned
may have been left on the street
or sidewalk when the new electric
light standards were installed.
DEAR MR.. FIXIT: One Of our
employees, who resides in the 1900
block on S. Sheffield Ave-, has re-
quested us to write you and find out
when the garbage collector gets
around to this part of the city. y
He wants to know this because he
says. "It's too much to pay taxes
and have to empty your own gar
bage in the creek. Not only that;
the bathers kick, too"
E. v. STEVENS, Secretary.
The collector arrives every
Thursday, Truly Nolen, superin-
tendent Of garbage collection, told
Mr.. Fixt. Garbage must be placed
in a sanitary can at the alley side
of the property. Nolen will see
that this condition is >rectifled, If
the department IS at fault.
