About Main Street.
There is no ond of complaint about the
condition in which the street car COM
panies have left Main street. It is not only
q nuisance to the travelling public, but the
companies rails are also being damaged by
heavy wagons running over them, and in
several pieces they have been broken.
Street Commissioner Brady had Main street
in very good condition before the compa-
MES started to fighting, but now the bust
ness men of Main street are continually
complaining and think something ought to
be done to make the street passable, as it is
indefinite when work will be resumed.
