THE REPUBLICAN

September 27, 1889

 

A. V. Balch and Street Commissioner Johnson made a survey Tuesday, to see if the bay window, mentioned last week, projected into the street.  It was discovered on survey, that the whole block was built into Fulton Street, from twelve to fourteen inches.  Therefore the street commissioner, as the ordinance provides, removed the projection of the bay window, on Wednesday morning.

 

            While the REPUBLICAN, in common with the board and perhaps hundreds of others, believe that that particular bay window constructed by the Post Company, would be of no harm in the slight projection over the street, but the custom once established of violating the ordinance, might lead to other extensions over the streets, which would sooner or later beget a good deal more trouble than the removal of this one.  All this trouble of removal might have been avoided, had the objections of the mayor and the orders of the street commissioner been heeded.
