Messrs. Editors will you be so kind as
to allow the following room in yonr valua-
BILE paper: The law forbidding persons
obstructing the streets in front OF their
stores with articles of merchandise and
that allowing only hitching posts to be
placed on the curmng OF bricks of said
streets or alleys, shouldbe rigidly enforced,
as on some thoroughfares it is almost i'm
possible to get along without soiling or
snagging ones clothing.
