spectacle, it looks quite novel to
see a long white road of ice wind

such roads have been formed in the

them great loads have been hauled
by single teams. These roads are
renewed daily, the spripkling cart

count of bad weather, and made such

dition of our streets, as caused by a Sc
we're winter and continuous rains; and,
that steps be taken to thoroughly work
them in proper season, which is near at
hand. | would again recommend that
some relief be rendered to the people of
Catfish Town, that proper drainage be
established to prevent flooding after each
rain, and to run off the standing water.
| have worked on thirteen streets only,
where mostly needed. | have built and
repaired one hundred and seventy-tive
bridges, lumber being ordered from Ar
bour Bros. | have made some minor
