Editor Pullman HERALD:
Dear Sir: On one Of the very dark,
rainy nights, of the present week, as
was cropping my way across the bridge
at the east end of Main street, heard
what sounded like heavy fall on the
walk in front of me; hurrying on 1 dis
covered lady, PROSTATE on the walk,
with her foot through broken plank.
From the terrible fall which heard some
distance away, it seemed only providen-
tial that she escaped very serious injury
Passing that weT aSllai9 in dssS siEslssab
found two dangerous holes caused by
broken planks, the sharp aJ,l ragged
ends exposed waiting to lacerute the leg
of the first unfortunate benighted pedes-
trian. The walk here shows unmistak-
able evidence OF being broken by some
one driving over it instead OF going on
to the driveway made for crossing teams.
May I, as visitor and stranger in your
town, suggest that either tie man who
seems habitually to drive over the walks
in this vicinity, or some charitable per-
son who has a regard for life and limb,
cause this dangerous place to be repaired
Yours Very Respectfully,
