VIII nave enough OF IL DeIOfe the
year ends, but it may do no harm to
suggest that there is great need of a
substantial and thorough repair of
the main street road from the Owl
nell building to the Mossman dry
house. This is the most public road
in town, and at times is as bad as any
in town. The temporary repair of
it by scraping on little clay and
mud is waste of money and an in
jury to the road. If portion of it
can be rebuilt, yearly, with stone,
gravel or other material which will
not ''heave," and become a mortar
bed fall and spring, it will be a con-
venience to the village and of much
advantage to large number of out
siders who come here to do business.
In regard to sidewalks, while it has
been expensive to extend even plank
walks over the village, it must be
evident to all, that a heavy annual
expense will result until more per-
manent material can be used. 1t
seems to us that some brick, stone
or concrete walk should be laid each
year until the wood walk is replaced
in such places as can be replaced by
durable material. There is another
thing that is standing disgrace to
this village, and that is the want of
suitable watering place for horses
that are driven into the village. A
man who comes here with a thirsty
team must unhitch and water at
private place, OF drive out, except
on one road, from one to three miles
to water his animal. If we cannot
have village water works, let us have
horse trough.
