Breaking Colts ON Water Street.
'ifoy Eennebec Journal:

Editor Kennebee Journal:
noticed some days ago notice by the
Mayor prohibiting coasting in the public
streets, and it seems to be a wise precaution
as many of our citizens have been injured by
careless sliding on Winthrop and other hills !;
but notice practice lately that seems to
me much more dangerous than coasting, and
that is breaking colts in Market square and
Commercial street. Hardly a day passes
but what one or more of these green colts
are driven to the vicinity of the depot on the
arrival of the train, a time when the streets
are unusually full of teams and pedestrians :;
and with these frightened animals running
in all directions, if the driver should happen
to lose control or get thrown out, az have
seen him. some person is quite liable to be
severely injured, and it seems as though the
practice should be stopped CITIZEN.
