KLUSTER OF
BULL’S EYE SHOTS.
It begins to look as if I will hsve
to turn th* “Bullseye Kolumu,’
into a “Kicker's Kolumu,’’ in order
tones* module the people who have
kicks komiug. Here’s a shot I
received for the “Bull’s eye’’ on
yesterday but which was crowded
out:
*
* *
Mr'Bull’s Eye’’ man:
I see an article in your issue of
the 15th met Signed“S 8 Kicker”
asking information as to whose
place it is to fill up iu front and
around the hign places in the side
walks: while you are giving the de
sired information will you not in
form us why the city fathers took
the dirt and brick bats from the
ditch cut at the head of Branham
Ave next to the Cemmetery,to till
the sidewalk in front of the new
King building when only last year
the city fathersjpaid teams s3jper
day to h»ul this same dirt and
Brick bats from the basement of
the new Curry building. These very
same fathers have been crying
economy the place of economy
to use the city funds to economize
private indiviuals. From your best
wisher;
“Against such Economy.’
* *
*
To the above J wish to answer, that
the ’vil) fathers who paid $3 per
day to have the brick-batsand debris
hauled from Curry’s Magnsfieeal
New building foundation, to Bran,
ham Avenue, aie not the very same
City fathers, who have permitted
Mr. Sam King to fill in his sidewalks
and bring them to the gfade at ids
own expense,
*
* ♦
I Say ‘ at hie own expense’’ advised
ly for I have made enquiry and Mr.
King tells me that he put in, at his
own expense,the rock walls and gran
ite curbings and the fills of the side
walks at each end and along the sides
of his new buisness house. So much
for that. Now heres a second shot
‘’■orn ‘Colouiel S S, Kicker.”
*
* *
We are very glad—“ One” City’
Father, that you have informed us
whose place it is to fill up the
streets after the sidewalks are rais
ed. We understood that it was the
city’s place to fill up the streets
after our good landlords had raised
us out of those high water pests.
Now “One” City Father, will you
please give us an estimation of
what Mr. S.King,paid as we sup
pose he is the only one who ever
paid for doing this work. “One”
City Father, tread light, or your
foot might slip upon those side
walks and your sole might be lost.
We know you do not come down
this way often but you might want
to fish in our railroad mill pond
this fall and we will see that Mr.
Ayer you out. “One” City
Father thanks for your in
farmatiou, but are you sure that
Mr. Sam King paid for that dirt
and hauling that filled up the
street in front of his new store?
Come out, No. C. & B.
S. S. Kicker.
* *
When, on yesterday, I published
that “one ©f the city fathers” had
said that Mr. King had paid for
the elevation of the streets and
sidewalks around his new building
I felt pretty certain that the city
dad was mistaken. Today I have
made some inquiries and know
that he was I talked
with Mr. W. A. Wright, one of
the street committee, and learn
from him that, while the bill for
the work has not been audited,that
the city will pay for the elevation
of streets at Rhudy’s corner of the
Battey building and Hiles’ corners
aud at the King corner.
o o o
This filling iu of the streets has
been done largely with the dirt
removed in the grading of the
streets around the Public bund
ing site, corner of Fourth Avenue
and East First St.„As to the King
and Curry building I think that
each of thsm have been built since
the city established a grade, and
being forced to come to the
grade,, I am of the opinion that
me city should at least fill in
the streets iu front. It seems to
me that the curb walls and the
filling of a sidewalk is hardship
enough to a property owner who is
forced to a c«rtA.’- 1 ivtd irheu he
builds.
o c o
As to the elevated stores down town
I •
,or anyw|j, re else ou Broad Street I
I mink, whi’e the city did not fc»ct
I t.’iem to a grade but merely gave
them permission to elevate, ihat the
cii v should at its earliest possible
convenience put the smet on the
grade to correspond with the pave
ments, These pioneers who blazed the
way out of the floods of water and
mud should not be the last to receive
lecognition from the city. And from
exprssions I have heard among city
fathers I think that they feel about
like I do.

| The greatest trouble is one over
which they are not responsible—viz-
A depleted city treasury, a taeasury
drained to the dregs, and a people
overtaxed in a year of financial string
encytobuilda water system that
might have been built later, I want
to see B-oad Street put on a grade
and I think the city should fill in
every front where the property has
been nut up to the grade and fill it
in at once —and I helijve that it will
