F. Jones. The letter reads: "The hogwallow between South Tenth and Eleventh streets in the alley running from S: to E street, that the six councilmen voted against improving : last Monday night, was a very punk piece of business. It was nothing more nor less than malice and spitework. Attorney Hoelscher dwelled long and well. on the hardships it would be to the widows. I wish I had as much as one of them I know who was opposed to the improvement Mr. Hoelscher when talking of the poor widows was only talking for hinrself.' , :: . "Dr. J. M. Warn pier in his reference to the cement alley in the rear of Dr. Zimmerman's residence says cement alleys are as filthy as boulder alleys. Dr. Wampler undoubtedly was protesting against the improvement of the alley from South C to E street. The petitioners for this improve

ment would not have called upon him to pay forit If the alley in the rear of Dr. Zimmerman's residence was in as filthy a condition as Dr. 'Wampler made it oat to be, where is our board of health and city " cleaning department? The petitioners for this improvement would advise the board of works to reject any petition forv an alley improvement, not signed by a majority of resident property owners, as the way council voted on our petition was anything but honest and fair.
