Newscopy: "PEDESTRIANS BEWARE---The News' Mr. Fixit spotted this Saturday night on Eddy-st at Powell and Market-sts. Eddy-st has been torn up for track removal but Mr. Fixit was shocked at condition in which the pedestrian crossing was left for weekend. He would like Public Works Director Sherman Duckel and the Piombo Construction Co. to answer this question: 'Why?' Shoppers above pick way over rock-strewn dirt and across rickety planks leading to sidewalk. One split board gave with each step. Man in foreground with little girl is seen with one foot off boards. To his rear a blind man (carrying concertina) is guided by passerby who came up in time to prevent him from stumbling off onto rocks in right foreground."
