We wonder if the side, walk in front of the
Odd Fellow Hall is to remain in its present
dilapidated condition another year, and all
the surroundings in front and about the Hall
be allowed to retain their present tumble
down, unsightly appearance? A fac Hall, with
such battered, dingy appearance, is repul-
sive. The iowa Commissioners have their
man at his old occupation of sprinkling sand
on the streets, while the side walks are
punctured full of holes, and the crossing
and pavement unfinished, foul disgusting !!
in front of the Hall, place almost every
citizen visits daily. Bah ed rather be IA
dog and bay the moon than well we
might insert Town Commissioners in place
of . doctor" Our corporation taxes have
been raised for the purpose of purchasing
more sand, we suppose.
