Show POOR WW DONE Bt MI1RRIS CROWD 1 Cement Sidewalks Laid Under Last Mormon Regime Cracking Crack-ing and Crumbling. BIG ROCKS ARE MIXED INTO SURFACE CEMENT Holes and Ridges Show duality of Walks and How Taxnajv ers Were Robbed. Gotten cement sidewalks, laid under the administration of Mayor Richard P. Morris, are beginning jo jruf J fg; and it is only a question o time un til the proncrtv owners hc ju up their cood hard money to build u lein will I bo taxed again to build walks that will stund ordinary travel. For the benefit of such as have been misled by the loeri Mormon and jack-Mormon jack-Mormon press into believing that the Morris administration was a good ono, and that it left a monument to its efficiency ef-ficiency in the public work hicl it did during the two years of its reign, a number of instances of its miserable performances aro herewith cited. On Tenth East Street. Tho sidewalk at Tenth East and Fourth South streets, for the first, example, ex-ample, is wearing awa3'. It isn t cracK-ing cracK-ing exactly; it is simply wearing out. It was laid under the Morri3 administration. adminis-tration. And iu the wearing away it is showing tho poor material or which it was made. Great big gravel stones which almost might bo dignified with the name of bouhiere, were mixed in the cement, and, as tho walk wears out, the festive pedestrian kicks out those boulders as he walks along the 8 Tho' filling under this sidewalk was worso than none at all. Under ono corner, cor-ner, at the stTcet intersection, a great holo has .been washed 'out under a corner., cor-ner., of the sidewalk, showing that the dirt foundation, upon which the walk was Jaid, was merely thrown in, and not wet down and otherwise made lasting last-ing and durable Tho intersection at Seventh South and First West streets is cracked. There is a crack half an inch wide running along a ridgo in the walk. I At the southeast corner of Seventh I South nnd West Templo streets, where ! tho walk was laid in 1901 by the Morris Mor-ris administration, there are several largo cracks, and the intersection looks like three large quarters of a pie. Bad on Main Street. At the northeast corner of Main and Seventh South streets thero are several sev-eral cracks, extending down into the lower concrete to a considerable extent. ex-tent. The worst picco of Morris incompetency, incompe-tency, and tho part which looks the worst, is on tho east side of Main street between Sixth and Seventh South streets. Hero the walk was evidently laid in ten and twenty-foot sections. Now tho sections have settled away from each other, and thero are aboift five places in tho walk where a pedes-tri pedes-tri an has either to step up or step down, according to the direction he is traveling. Theso ridges in tho walk aro from half an inch to an inch high. To wheel a, .by carriage, for instance, alone this walk, is a disagreeable task, and undoubtedly jars the "in ards" of the baby so unfortunate as to be wheoled over it. Besidos this, the division lines or markers of each block of cement are also more or less deeply cracked, so that the walk does not adhere well and seems to curve up and down. ' All of these examples of rotten sidewalk side-walk construction are whore thev can be inspected by any deluded mortal wbc tlunks the Morris administration wat any good. |
