We do not men the work of construction, for of’that we have made no note. Tint is the property ' holders’ business do“ there. But there is I fine broad avenue, in the very heart of the city, a most import- ant link m the Sheridan road, and what hav'é we'got? 'We have a 20- foot macadamised; roadway crowded up into the east side parkway to such an extent and cut down in such a manner as very largely to spoil the park» way itself, both as to its beauty and as to its utility for growing shade trees Then V we have. a parkway of 20mm about in the middle of the original street ‘of_ htility 0r beauty. and then comes the street railway tracksy between the so-called central parkway 'and the westside gutter. ' The property owners along that street very strongly objected ' to such a parkway. In the first place they did not want the pub way at all. for the simple reason that it serves no good purpose there, and' is really no hlotéh on the whole street. What the prop- erty owners down thereâ€"{hat is,; the persons who in a sense own; that street, as every other prop- erty holder owns the street against his propertyâ€"41nd the perhaps who pay the cost of that imprope- ment wanted was a. fine street, in keeping with the Sheridan Rom}, of which it form so Important ’1: link one in keepifig with their own shutting propetty, and one in harmony with the prominent position that street holds ampng the streets of the city. They wanted, in other words, a! first- class street in every respect, were willing to pay. a fair hnd; reasonable price for it. That' is, they wanwd their money used for? the best advantage of themselves and the city, and that is what every property owner wants. But instead of what they wanted and what the public needed, we have this botch of an affair; the great thoroughfare through the heart of the city a petty 20-foot driveway. crowded over into the gutter, spoiling that east side parkway for all time. ‘ Of mum, in few years, after a few serio aeoide1ts by com- pelling men to drive their loaded teams on the rdilw1y tracks, the city will tear out that so-called central parkway and make a broad street out of it, just what the property holders and the public went- new.
