There is something wrong with that cleo

TO II the other day. Have you taken
down notes, gentlemen, about the bad
places in the street railroad tracks, that

waited above the surface, or either Of the
dummy lines, or the big railroads, or the
street railroads, why, they must be noti-
fled, and they must fix II. Their contract
calls for II, and we must have IL smooth,
even and nice. Notify the street railroad
company about the condition Of tracks
between Mill and Auction streets.
