The street hands for the past few days
have been busily engaged hauling sand TO
the places upon our streets which were
almost impossible in consequence of deep
mud. I.Ttsy have done great deal of good,
but there is much need for them to continue
the sanding process, as we have scarcely
ever seen the streets, and particularly the
sidewalks, of our town in worse condition.
They have, however, already been much
improved by the work done on them.
