Write him at xtie i imes tent ion Ur e^er W M receive prompt at- " Road hogging” by city trucks is disapproved by members of the board of works, but they must have definite information of instances, before action can be taken, Mr. Fixit was told today. DEAR MR. FIXIT: These huge trucks, including city-owned ones, persist in traveling in the middle of the street. On Senate Ave., they drive down the car tracks. Taking a slow, lumbering gait, they force other far on the left side of the street in passing them. And they’re deaf to your- honks. KAREFUL KLAXON. Dr. M. J. Spencer, board member, suggested in cases of city trucks that the numbers be taken and reported to the board for action. LEAR MR. FIXIT: W are writing you asking you if you will please have something done to our street. On W. Twelfth St. the water stands all over the sidewalk. We cannot get to our front doors. We have called the street office and every time \/o call they tell us that’s not the place to call. The sewer is stopped up and we have not had any street lights for almost two weeks. They come out here, stand and look at it and then go away. We are asking if you will please see to it for us, as they will not do anything for us. Come and see the conditions yourself at Twelfth and Brook Sts. J. H. K. Street commissioner’s department has no record of previous calls. However, W. P. Hargon, clerk, said an inspector was to be at the location today. v DEAR MR. FIXIT: Would you be kind enough to see that we get some gravel on our street? There are such holes in the street that it is almost impassable. We also would like verv much to have it oiled, for it Is very dusty. We need it baifly on McLain St. from Miller to Minnesota Sts. We will also thank you in return. PROPERTY OWNERS. Hargon will request Frank P. Reid, inspector, to oil the street and fill the holes with gravel. You should haye service within a few days. DEAR MR. FIXIT: Will you please see about having a street light placed at Hancock and Victoria Sts., as there is no light for two squares In any direction and we need one very much? Thanking you in advance. A TAXPAYER. There’s no money left in the budget for additional street lights this year, James Hensley, engineer in charge of street lighting told Mr. Fixit. DEAR MR. FIXIT: On Feb. 13. 1925 a petition for sidewalks and curbs on E. Thirtieth St. from Olney to Wood Sts., was filed with the board of works. A few weeks later a second petition for sidewalks from Dearborn to Wood Sts. was filed. Can’t you do something to get one of these petitions (preferably the latter) to come up for hearing before the board of works? C. R. FITZPATRICK. Frank C. Lingenfelter, city engineer, is holding these petitions .because property owners in your district rescinded a similar petition for improvements from Sherman Dr. to School St. It was his opinion that these petitions would meet with a similar fate. Lingenfelter suggests you make a showing to the board that'the improvement will not be halted by other property owners and include a petition to have the street widened to the width of the paving west of the location you mention. This widening is necessary,

A spacious territory bounded by the Pennslyvania Railroad, Belt Railroad and the city limits on the west and south, Robeson has missed few episodes in this territory. Rhodius Park demands attention. Railroad bums would like to hop off here if he did not keep them on the go. Eagle Creek has its hazardous swimming places that must be kept free of juvenile bathers. Robeson was appcinted to the department Feb. 2, 1915, and lives at 2014 Olive 3t.
