Let Mr.. Fixit help you preGs;ent ny. your
representative, at the city hall. Write
him at The Times. -
They're a little far-sighted about
no parking signs on Capitol Ave-, a
correspondent informed Mr.. Fixit
today. The result is a dangerous
traffic condition.
DEAR MR.. FIXIT: You seem to
be able to get things done that no
one else can do. so try and see what
can be done about these things that
happen day after day and are OBJ
served by autoists and pedestrians
alike.
On the north side Of Sixteenth
st. there are signs reading mo
Parking on this side, Police Order
and yet there isn't hardly five min
utes of the day that cars and trucks
are not parked. The most dangerous
place is at Capitol Ave. and Six
teenth St., where they are building
II new hotel.
All along N. Illinois ST., from
Sixteenth st. downtown, cars park
in the safety zone. Especial is
this noticeable at Sixteenth and
Eleventh SITS. They park right in
the safety zone; consequently when
cars pass them it is necessary to
ride through the white safety marks
where pedestrians stand for cars.
This is an everyday occurrence.
A. DEVINE.
Sergt. Mary Moore, head of the
police accident prevention bureau,
agrees that this is a serious condi-
ton and will investigate at once.
DEAR MIR. FIXIT: Would you
kindly attend to a real need and
thereby do a lot of folks a real
service? I have in mind the condi-
ton of Southeastern Ave, from
Rural st. east to the Belt eleva-
ton. Either side Of the road is used
for a dump and careless drivers of
dump wagons have encroached upon
it ten feet or more in places. A
car dare not leave the exposed part
Of the road for fear Of hitting large
blocks of refused concrete.
At least SO per cent of the cars
coming east take the left hand side
of the road to avoid the uneven sur
face.
LIFELONG SUBSCRIBER.
Police will seek to prevent this
practice, Lieutenant Thomas
promised.
DEAR MIR. FIXIT: I have OBJ
served your activity in municipal
affairs particularly for the benefit of
property owners and I would thank
you to serve this community by urg-
ing the engineering department and
board of works to expedite a resolu-
ton for sewer main to serve the
region or Shelby st. south Of Hol-
liday and the streets east of Shelby
St, but particularly south of the
termination of the Bean Creek
sewer.
Anticipating your promptness and
favorable action in this connection.
SUPPORTER OF MIR. FIXIT.
Mr.. Fixit has seen the plans for
your sewer, which will extend as
far as Martin St. The delay seems
to be caused by a proposal to
annex a section of land from Car
son to State AYES. The idea is to
connect this entire system of sew
ers with the Pleasant Run-Bean
Creek interceptor sewer.
DEAR MR.. FIXIT: While the
city constructed the new .Kessler
Blvd, north Of Speedway Blvd, they
used Eighteenth st. for some time
and the street is now in such a de-
plorable condition it can hardly be
used. We have been taken into
the city, pay city taxes, are without
fire protection, schools, water plugs,
ETC., and the least we are asking is
that this Eighteenth st. up to
Goodlet Ave. be taken care of so that
people living in that vicinity can put
their supply of winter coal in.
CITY TAXPAYER,
The engineer of the park board
will investigate, Mr.. Fixit was told.
