NEEDS LOOKING AFTER.-The wretch
ed condition of the streets generally in
the First ward is the subject of much
comment and we wish at this time to call
attention to the great need that exists for
repairing and making passable that por-
ton of First street in the vicinity of the
Brick Mill. Should it be required to
haul an engine on the platform at the
mill race the team would find it, even in
a dry time, almost impossible to perform
the service, owing to the horribly rough
state of the roadbed. The approaches to
to the engine.plat{orms, wherever located,
should be placed in good condition at
once.
