A few loads of broken rock nave been plaC
ed between the rails OF the street car tracl
this week. While due credit is and should b
given the company for what little they hav
done. still the city ordinance under whicI
they were granted q franchise makes it bind
ing on them to do more,-keep the street oc
cupied by their track In good repair. Is thi
done? Only a mere glance at any part of tt
track between the Mo. z. depot and the eas
side of the courthouse will prove quite tb
contrary. In some places the rails are at leas
four inches above the street and person
driving IN a buggy or wagon, In order to eros
the track must turn their horses heads sgua,
across the track or the wheels of the vehicl
will catch on the rails and In some cases nc
only give the occupants severe ~joltings. bI
springs" the axles. The city council hs
frequently ordered stricter compliance wit
the ordinance but very little attention seem
to be paid to them. Another thing; the cour
Gil some months ago instructed that 10
superintendent Of bridges and buildings {

within the city limits. Whether the notice
have been served or not we are not prepare
TO say. but the crossing at the McGrew mi

cilmen. see that your orders are carried OF
or it will soon be a mere farce for you to CON
