The police patrol wagon horse narrowly
Jackson street between Eighth and Ninth
last night. These manhole covers are wholly
untitled for protection, being thin plates of
cast iron which easily break when Il heavy
vehicle goes over them. Immediate attention
should be given to these places and better
safeguards provided. Firemen and the police
patrolmen are very much afraid of these
covers at night, aud with the number that
are constantly being found open, it seems
providential that a fatal accident has not
occurred.
