For more than two months Lexington venue from One Hundred and Nine- sc street to One Hundred and ity-fitth street has been in a condi- tion of chaos. The six blocks are torn jmp from end to end, deep excavations nd trenches have been dug and board @ronsingw in some cases reaching across @basms are the only means afforded Qt street crossings. ‘ Great cast-iron pipes lay like ruins @long the upheaved thoroughfore, and Stew piles of granite paving biooks border the curb, encroaching to such an) extem that the sidewalks are well nigh impessadle in certain places. The only portion of the original street surface Remaining {s the narrow strip between the Lexington avenue car tracks, Wot only dees this condition of the thoroughfare mean a constant menaco to Ufe and property, but the health ef the neighborhood is threatened by the noxious odors and gases which are being constantly emitted from the depths | @f the crenches and the disturbed earth. Mothers, fearful of the health of their @hildren, have caused them either to be ment to the country or to the homes of relatives living remote from the ne! borbood. Children Are ml. Beveral chiidren are already prostrated ®y sickness resembling malaria, Small Dysiness places along the devastated @ection have been compelled to put up @heir shutters, and all of the many business ¢siablishments op the thorough. fare have felt the effects of the tear- fs up and closing of the street. Resi- Gents in the neighborhood are greatly inconvenienced, as well as disturbed, by the operations, Mayor Low has been appealed to re- | peatedly borh by the indignant residents ey » into fie wind blows.

He bas told the residents that the olty at the mercy of the contractors. When appeal was made to the Com- missioner of Public Works and Preaident of the Borough Cantor they, too, de- ¢lared that their official hands were tied nd that the city could do nothing. President Cantor and Commissioner of Works Livingstone have been Busy answering the many complaining letiers received regaraing the divg ful condition of the street, tone of these answers was in effect that nothing could be officially done to Folieve the conditions. Now the resi- Gents of the section are preparing to Fequest the Board of Health to (ry and effect a remedy. The work of laying new water mains @long Lexington avenue is responsible | for the condition whioh exisis. Norton & Daiton were awarded the contract for laylng the mal Inatead of tear- 4rig up staall sections at a time for this work the contractors tore up piling the paving stones in is on the east and west side nd delving into the earth to the x ten and fifteen feet tn some Tore Up the Bntire Street. Although but a comparatively narrow trench was needed for the laying of the mains, it appears to have auited the purpose of the contractors to have de- stroyed the entire street surface, and, not content with this, to have extended these operations until it became neces- gary to close the street to all but the ear line traffic, rendering it !mpossible ‘ef access even to Fire Department ap- paratus, At some of the crossings pedestrians have to walk on planks stretched across trenches in order to cross the strects. Timid women walk blocks out of thelr way to avold attempcng these perilous feats. At all crossings in the disputed thoroughfare great ditticulty is ex) enced by men and women alike in board- ing and alighting from the cars. some spots the elevation of the car step is very great. The sidewalks ar Uittered with dirt which on dry days crumbles into fine dust and is biown stores and residence windows tn cjouds, to the destruction of stocks and furniture.

If the top-notch clothes from New York’s few really high-grade stores could be grouped with these, and all labels and price tags removed, these are the clothes you would select. In fabrics, in style, in fit, in finish, in the elegance that endures through constant wear you would justly count them extraordinary value at former prices. But—conditions compel us to knock a large block off the rightful prices. As we said last week, the business was going ahead by leaps and bounds. Not fore- seeing the strikes in the building trades, we made up three times our ordinary output. Instead of waiting till the end of the season we push the prices down NOW, when you have the full season’s wear ahead of you.
