MR. FIXIT Mail Chucked With Street" Complaints,

Mr. Fixit. The Times' representative at the city hall, will be glad to present your case to the proper city officials. Write him in care of The Times, signing full name and address. AH letters are confidential ii requested. The bulk of Mr. Fixit’s mail for the last two weeks has been street complaints. Some persons have written twice about ‘'the safne street or alley, declaring that nothing' has been done to make them passable. Street Commissioner George Woodward told Mr. Fixit that lack of funds and equipment is holding up this important twork on unimproved streets and alleys. City Engineer Chester C. Oberleas said that the paved streets and alleys are being repaired fast as they can be with the money available. He declared that the council only allowed him $2,000 for paving materials in the budget for this year, with, the promise that he would be allowed to use the gasoline tax money for street repair work. Now the council majority faction have expressed themselves as being in favor of repairing College Ave. bridge with this fund. If they do, Oberleas told Mr. Fixit that all street repair work will stop about April 1 for lack of funds. He declared that a bond issue may be authorized for the repair of the bridge, but that a bond issue for the repair of streets is illegal. Mr. Fixit would advise that those erested in the street repairs talk councilmen about the question. Dear Mr. Fixit: Please see if you can get our garbage collected for us. We have a sanitary garbage can with a lid. Our garbage hasn’t been collected for three weeks. R. E, W. Truly Nolen, superintendent of collections, told Mr. Fixit that this garbage will be collected today. v_ Dear Sir: The alley between S. East and S. New Jersey Sts., beginning at the producers market, is a regular dumping place for trash and filth. This place needs the attention of the board of health. G. I. Dr. Herman G. Morgan, health hoard executive secretary, told Mr. A¥¥oTOLTPIiLES A pimply face will not embarrass you milch longer, if you get a package of Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets. The skin should begin to clear after you have taken the tablets a few nights. C'eanse the blood, bowels and liver with Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets, the successful substitute for calomel; there's no sickness or palu after taking I hem. * Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets do that which calomel does, and just as effectively, lut their action is gentle and safe instead of severe and irritating. So one who takes Olive Tablets Is ever cursed with a “dark brown taste,” a bad breath, a dull, listless, “no good” feeling, constipation, torpid liver, bad fcii“position or pimply face. W Olive Tablets are a purely vegetable "impound mixed with olive oil; know tl'tm by their olive color. Dr. Edwards spent years among patients afflicted with liver and bowel omplaints and Olive Tablets are the immensely effective result. Take night>v for a week. See how much better you feel aud look. 15c, 30c, 60c.—Adver'Isement. *

Fixit that this place has been Inspected and will be cleaned up immediatelyr Dear Mr. Fixit: Between Hendricks Place and Pavkview Ave. on Washington St., is a manhole which has caved in. It is about five feet deep and full of water. A child could fall in the hole and drownd and no one would be the wiser. E. O. Woodward sent an inspectof“to investigate the place and said that the dangerous place would be repaired immediately. Mr. Fixit: Will you please have the board of safety install fire alarms at Le Grande and Barth Aves. and at New St. and Raymond St. Both places are badly in need of alarms. • L. R. S. The board of' safety told Mr. Fixit that these places are on its program for the installation of new fire alarm boxes. These will be installed in the near future. Mr. Fixit: The B. & O.

Dear Sir: Will you see if something can’t be done to remedy the sanitary conditions at the corner of Shelby St. and Southern Ave., within a stone’s throw of the Sunken Gardens? The rear of this place is littered with all kinds of garbage end rubbish. H* H. Dr. Morgan told Mr. Fixit that this place will be cleaned up at once.

Dear Mr. Fexit: What can he done to children who walk over our lawns and then put their fingers to their nose and curse you if you tell them to keep off? A TIMES READER. This matter will have to he called to the attention of the patrolman on your beat. Dear Mr. Fixit: Winter has left its mark on the surface of N. Drexel Ave., the chuck holes having made driving impracticable. Paved alleys on both sides are used for automobile driving, as people are afraid of breaking springs, even at low speed, on the street. Requests have been previously made of the city for repairs or grading. The street is crushed gravel and only needs a little effort on the part of the city to make it a decent thoroughfare. Will you please see what can be done. ' M. G. Y. ( George Woodward, street commissioner, said that he would grade the street as soon as tractors and graders were brought out for the spring grading. Dear Sir: At a meeting of the South Irvington Community Club attention was called to the two very bad holes in Brookville Road east of the Bean Creek bridge. A very serious accident occurred at this place a short time ago and more accidents can be expected until proper repairs are made. Please help us. S IRVINGTON COMMUNITY CLUB. The street commissioner, after sending an inspector to the place, promised Mr. Fixit that this place will be repaired at
