DEAR MR.. FIXIT: have had
deep interest in civic affairs, am
known all over the south side and
am backed by about fifty persons.
Theer are some new apartments be-
ing built at the corner of Shelby and
Bradbury SITS. For the past week
the sidewalks have been filled with
mud. sand, gravel and other things
that have been very inconvenient
for persons to pass. Most people
have been forced to walk In the
streets.
Last night I was forcing my way
past when I slipped from the side
of a sand pile and almost fell into
big ditch which was covered by only
one board. The ditch was on the
property, but the sand pile forces
you to go too near the holes. Know
ing you will give this your i'm
mediaated attention.
NUMBER FOUR.
Sergeant Moore also will investi-
gate the condition you describe. she
told Mr.. Fixit.
DEAR MR.. FIXIT: Myself with
many other residents of College
Ave, between Eleventh and Thir-
teenth SITS, have great reason to
complain Of the condition of street
car tracks. The heavy interurban
cars rock our buildings almost off
their foundations. 1t is almost i'm
possible to sit on front porches be-
cause of the constant racket. II
takes the nerves of a Hercules to
stand the strain. Can you find us
any relief?
