When the watering cart makes trip up
High street, a nuisance is always created.
The grade Is steep and so much water is
put on that II flows down over the cross
walk and every lady that passes gets wet,
skirts and feet.
Since the new coat of Hne stone was
put on more water than usual has been
sprinkled there and the result is that
one half of the gravel has
been washed down on the Main
street crosswalk. The matter should be
looked into and attended to. The nui-
