THEY MAKE PEOPLE SWEAR.

The Gas Plugs That They Trip Over
On the Sidewalks.
20, my pet corn" cried sweet young
lady as she tripped over one of those gas
plugs on Broughton street. "I wish they
would take them away" and then she slip
ped into a store and ordered a chocolate
cream.
"Great heavensw exclaimed an elderly
stranger, as he ran his toe against the
same obstruction. II thought Savannah
boasted Of her sidewalks and pavements;"
and he hastened to take thu middle of the
asphalt street.
Cd it," yelled the business man as he
stumbled and nearly fell through show
case which stood on the sidewalk; "that's
the fourth tiu> to-day that I've nearly
broken my neck over these miserable iron
things"
"Don't say a word, )" remarked a friend !;
"look at this shoe, two gashes an inch In
leugtn, in consequence Of contacts with the
abominable sharp edged fiends. ~
The number of inJured feet, crushed
corns, sliced shoes, irritated tempers and
highly emphatic remarks that are made
every day In consequence of tripping over
gas plugs is innumerable.
Along Broughton street, from Abercorn
TO Whitaker, the brick sidewalks have be-
come worn to such an extent that TIE little
square iron plates, which lead 20 the gas
pipes below, are exposed at least half an
inch above the surface of the walk. Men,
women and children are continually trip
ping over them, and many pedestrians who
have suffered by frequent injuries are kept
busy trying TO avoid them while passing
along the street.
Broughton street, the most prominent
business thoroughfare In the city, a good
many people believe, should be in a better
condition for the comfort of pedestrians. II
the worn bricks cannot be replaced with
new and level walks, the gas plugs might be
lowered so that they will not interfere with
travel. The daily complaints from hun
dreds of people seem to justify the claim
that something should be DONE"
