weather has selced great deal Of just complaint.
after elac rains streets @Mest impossible,
and the sidewalks themselves are bad almost as TIE
streets This H. in part the fault of property holders,
the fault Of the city Gathers, andin part must be con
esscd the fault Of faulty material The usual soft
hlfbHrued refuse and cheap bricks used for paving
here are wholly unGt for purpose. They soon sob
and break ard instead Of making good, level side
walk Of brick, properly and evenly laid, they present
an uneven AID unsafe pavement Of briek-bats. The
remedy for this is 10 the power of the city board, ad
we venture to hope it will bespeediiy applied.
