The residents of the locality hate 1ccn c'niplaining fror a Is slip time, some have moved away and others are threatening to move. 1Ir. \V. C. Andrews, President of the New York Steam Company, owns three houses Ott these blocks and cannot afford to lose his tenants for reasons as above described. The taxes are very high and lie can only make both ends meet when the houses are occupied fully. 'Tenants cannot be kept when the street is in such a condition that they caneot keep the windows open on pleasant clays nor cross the avenue on stormy ones.

Kindly see to it that this terrible condition of affairs is remedied at once and have the street repaired and, if necessary, asphalted.

Yours very truly, B. F. SEADLER.

Hon. AUGUSTUS \V. PETERS : DEAR SIR—I desire to lodge a complaint against the flower-stand situated on the southeast

corner of Twenty-third street and Sixth avenue, and standing on that corner without a permit from the city.

I occupy a part of that corner building as a florist, paying $1 30 rent a month, and such a stand is not only detrimental to my business but is a direct violation of the law. I hope you will give this complaint your immediate attention and remove it, for I have put in a large stock for Easter, and if he is there then he will ruin my entire Easter trade.

Hoping and begging you for some immediate action, I remain, Yottrs truly,

side of One Hundred and Twelfth street, about 200 feet east of Lenox avenue, to keep the fence inclosing saute in proper repair.

In consequence of thi.; neglect, these vacant lots are infested with hoards of ball players, who annoy the residents of the private houses on this block by their obscene language and by climbing over our yard fences in search of lost balls, and threaten bodily harm to our women folks when interfered with, and the illness of nip wife, who is suffering from nervous lnostration, had been so aggravated that I fear she will become insane under their nuisance.
