RD~ We would very respectfully call the
devout attention Of our Town Council to q
number of break-nock holes in the streets.
The worst are on Main street in front of Mr.
Jacob Rice and Judge Wal'ace's dwellings
A few loads of gravel prayerfully distributed
by Parson Sullivan, just now, would put the
streets in splendid condition for years
We would further suggest that few large
boulders, sticking up in the middle of the
streets be broken up. Vehicles, in passing
either way over them, make holes on both
sides
