ONE Of the old and most observing in.
habitants of this city dropped in on us to
say that the streets and sidewalks of the
city have not been in so dangerous a
condition from ice for many years. Most
of this trouble is caused by carelessness
on the part of families who allow the
water to run from their hydrants in or
der to prevent their freezing. The upper
streets, and Central avenue, are especi.
ally bad, as is also Liberty street, and
many others in that portion of the city.
The city authorities should take the mat
ter in hand, and protect as far as posi-
BILE the life and limb of the citizens.
