L'nlon avenue to the river were anxloua
to -'make a hydraulic fill, not only In
the atreet but alao on all th land
owned by them, and In order to get
tbla done they aecured more 'than one
third of the property owners between
Union avenue and Eaat Seventh, atreet,
and alao more than one third of the
property owners between' Union avenue
and Water street to lgn a petition
separating . th - Improvement, eo . that
the eaat end of the atreet could be
filled at once with a dirt fill and then

Some of us have Just erected' new build
ings on this land, and we do not want
to have our buildings ruined by a, dirt
fill, the aame aa waa, done on Union and
Orand avenuea. This is one reason we
had for making the hydraulic fill first
Soma of the Eaat. Side gentlemen
seem to think that we were alraply do
ing this to delay matters or to get the
Improvement In such shape that it could

agreed to guarantee la writing, ,nd If
Decease nr." "to put a bond that the two
improvementa will not be - remonstrated
against. This ought to satisfy any fair
moum person. - t
Sfo JTeeoV of Suspicion.
Notwithstanding this proposed auar-
antee, soma of the gentlemen stUl in-
um we .i. noi acting in gooa
faith. When people offer to put mat
ters In such ahape that they cannot
positively be auaplcloned, we think It
Is time for suspicion to cease.
we commend the Eaat Bide business
men for their energy and seal -which
they display in having their' streets
Improved, but they should, remember
that they should not require' us to Im
prove h street every year, aa they are
Baking to be done between Union ave
nue and the river. Notwithstanding
we aia not tnma tms was right, we
oonsented to bear It and do as they
desired, but we want to do it in a
manner that would be permanent and
benefit not only . the street but the
lproperty as-well and make a perma
nent, eoUd foundation for ,a street so
that If a dirt fill were put In after the
baeeraent level waa reached bv the hv.
draullc fill. It. would do no damage to
th buildings, and would also Improve
all the property aa well ae the, street
"W cannot understand how' "anyone
could act more fairly than we have
done la this matter. We cannot see
the grounds for suspicion which these
gentlemen, seem to entertain toward us,
and what' we nave done "cannot help
but allay 'the suspicion-of any reason-

"It the atreet from Union avenue to
: the river were In bad condition and not
in ahape to b used we Could readily un
derstand why It would be neceaaary to
hurry this Improvement at once and
have the dirt flU made, but as if is In
perfect condition w see reason-why
we should not have a reasonable time
to make a hydraulic fill first. This has
been the unanimous opinion, with one
bar .txcegtioiu-pt all ho property:
owners on this end of the street,' eo far I
aa I can learn, and, if I understand the
case, the gentleman who claimed to
have property-in thla section Is only
acting ave aa agent for soma eastern
parties. W want It understood now
and forever that we are not opposing
mis improvement; mat we want it
bad as any on, but w want to do It
In aa Intelligent manner, and we have
arranged the matter In such a way aa to
allow the east end of the street to be
rilled as quickly ss the people want It
done, ' and -aak that ours be delayed
until such time ss we can get the
dredge, we repeat again that we would
not ask this If the street bad not been
