The citizens of a -:portion of- the Ninth
ward have been considerably annoyed by
the question of grades, and it appears that
their in that respect, are not yet
. . ,
at an end. 'Some four years since, by an
act, of Councils, the grade of Penn street,
opposite the old Fair ground, was lowered
four feet, solely for the accommodation of
the owners of said Fair ground, as the grade
is now so low that in cases of extremely
high water the street is overflowed several
feet. There is now on foot a proposition to
change the grade of Clymer street, so as to
run the water from Penn street to the river,
instead of from Smallman street, to Penn,
and thence to the river by way of the sewer
on Smith street. To do this it will be
necessary to raise the grade of Penn street
several feet, as the water cannot be carried
off at a less fall than one inch to ten feet,
and the grade of:Penn street is now consid
erably below high water mark, while
it is over 900 feet from the river. It will
require a fall of at least eight feet, to con
voyi the water from Penn st eet to the
rivet, and in order to have tha much fall
about an ordinary stage of wate , the grade
of Penn street will have to b raised at
least four feet. The grade of Mu berry alley
is about thirteen inches above t at of Penn
street, and being situated 130 fee from Penn
toward the river, if Penn is not raised, it
will have to be lowered at least twenty-six
inches. It is evident to any one who knows
anythingabout the location of the streets
at that point, that sooner or later the grade
of Penn street will have to be raised, and
the sooner it is done the better, consequent
ly .it would be folly to lower the grade on
Mulberry alley this year, and then raise it
next after it has been paved. The matter
of grades is one that should be left entirely
to the City Regulator, and when once es
tablished by him should not be interfered
with by either Street Committees or
Councils, and until this principle is
adopted we can 'never. have any
1
system of grades. If Councils have no
I confidence in the judginent of the Regula
tor, they . should dismiss him . and employ
another, and not pay him for doing work
which they undo immediately afterward.
The establishmentof a grade is a matter of
vast importance to the property owner, and
'when it is once established by the Regula
tor, who is the only proper authority, and
'the property owner erects a building in ac
cordance with the grade given him, it is un
just to change it'at his expense, as in every
instance he is not only compelled to boar
the cost of filling, or cutting down and re
.filling, but frequently his building is left
several feet above or below the grade. By
proceedings of this kind the value of prop
erty is greatly diminished, as the purchaser
never knows what he is buying. We re
peat that the matter of grades is one that
should be left solely to the city regulator,
subject to the approval of Councils, of course, ,
and when once established should not be
changed, except in cases where it 'is really
necessary, and then the Regulator should be
consulted before any action is taken. The
change of the grade of. Clymer street will
require the lowering of Mulberry alley at
least twenty , six inches below the grade as
established. ,by the City Regulator, and
unless the very best reasons are furnished to
Councils for so doing,we think it would not
only be unwise but unjust to property hol
ders, who have erected. buildings on the al
ley in accordance with the' grade as given
them by the City 'Regulator, who is the
only person fromwhorn it can be obtained.
If the change is really necessary, it is better
that Penn street be raised, as it will have
to be before many years,. and it can be
done now at a less expense than the other
can be cut 'down, and would be a benefi
cial and permanent improvement.

In the Pipe Business
George J. Hall made infoi mation yester
day before Alderman Taylor, charging E.
Deroy with larceny by bailee. George, it
appears,- had a number of pipes, seven in
all, -valued at thirty-five dollars, -which, in
order to raise a little ready cash, he spouted
at Deroy's, for which, ho alleges, he re
ceived pawn tickets. He further states
that he gave Deroy's brother the tickets to
ascertain what amount of money would be
required to redeem the pipes ? and that said
tickets were taken possession of by. E.
Deroy, who now holds both pipes and
tickets and refuses to return either. A war
rant was issued for the arrest of the accused,
T. B. Fisher made infogintion before Al
derman Thomas yesterday, charging Em
ma Madison with larceny. The accused, it
appears, resides in the family of the prose
cutor as a domestic,-and-it is alleged that
she carried away a photograph album, four
china vases,and various other articles, of the
value of $ll.
W. H. Wagstaff made information before
the same magistrate charging the defend
ant in the above case with a similar offence.
She was arrested, and after a hearing held
to bail for her appearance at court to
answer both charges.
