lie the city would spend the money
contemplated for purchase of Casino

ect, on the streets everybody would
be better satisfied, a letter to Mr..
F'iXit stated The letter states that
there arc enough holes in the streets
without the city buying more. The
letter is:
DEAR FIXIT: / see in this after

still in the notion of buying the

they can cut down expenses. III
they do buy it, they should not buy

see if you can have something done
about these holes. \. ia. IL.
This complaint was turned over
to the street commissioner by Mr..
Fixit. He promised to look over
the place and fix the holes if pos
sible.
Dear Mr.. Fixit: Will you see that
the garbage is collected at a certain
f. McCarty ST. restaurant? The
smell is terrible. People will start
complaining soon. They have not
taken the garbage away for two
weeks. MRS. n. V. y.
The city sanitary department
told Mr.. Fixit that they would see
to this matter at once. They said
that they could not understand
how the garbage had been missed
by the garbage collector.
Mr.. FiXit: The street light at the
corner of Sturm Ave. and Bell St,
has not burned for two weeks. We
have tried to get the city to look
after it, but they pay no attention
to us. Please see what you can do
about it. w. II. l..
Assistant Street Inspector j. w.
Middleton said that he would take
this up with the light company
at once and see that they took

The following street complaint
was also taken care of by Mr.. F'ixit
today:
MY DEAR MIR. FIXIT: The alley
between Chester Ave and Denny st.
in the 1900 block, is practically inn
passible except to birds. AS we have
no wings. this is the only way we
have to get to the street car line.
Won't YOU try to have it repaired?
MRS. +. and MRS. A.
The letter was taken up with
the street commissioner and he
told Mr.. F'ixit that the matter
would be attended to at once. A
load or two of cinderi will be put
on the alley as soon as the
weather permits, he said.

against this piece of legislation, says
that the white organizations have
registered their emblems, pins, but

use almost similar symbols the Sec.
