Description:	Top: Illustration of reader suggestion for improvements of the Plaza in front of the river. In the margin are sketches of trees. Bottom left: Grass from the yard of an abandoned lot grows out onto the sidewalk. Bottom right: Tree roots cause a sidewalk to crack and buckle. Image Access WideTEK 25 [in margin: Around Town. Levee. Courier. 3 columns. 4/30 for 5/1/40.] Several readers suggest: That in the plans for the Plaza levee that a closed wall be built around and on top of the present balustrade wall. It could be supported by construction rising from present little used wharf--which in form of step-seats would be an amphitheater for river sports. River. New foundations. Present foundations. New wall. Present balustrade. Sidewalk. Pavement of Plaza. Those empty lots that spread way over the sidewalks. A good Clean-up Week topic. Do those who deject such as these two walk around in blinders? Would the city or the property owners be liable if someone falls and injures themselves on such unsafe sidewalks as to be found in various parts of the city.
