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. 000 | 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 at the earliest possible moment, Iu the meantime this column is open *0 tue public.
