Our city authorities should attend a
little to the matter of street crossing and
steps. Since the filing along Washing
ton street street was done, the streets at
the foot Of the zigzag steps, and also at
the foot OF the steps on Taylor street,
are in bad condition. a little atten-
ton, and light expense would remedy
these defects. The street crossings,
many of them are so muddy that pedes-
trian travel is almost blocked. ssdIy
need attention.
