cles to get as near the outskirts as possible.
One of the horses received severe cut on

THE ARGUS representative has heard it
commented upon quite freely, that in as
cending the Perry street hill Monday night,
the firemen found it necessary to get off
the cart and push on the rear to aid the
horses in the effort to reach the summit.
Perhaps the excessively heavy carts pur-
chased by the council committee may
prove a decided failure in ascending the
longer hills about the city, and the expert
ence of Monday night demonstrates that
they certainly will turn out so in muddy
times.
