4 Much Needed Improvement.


We are informed that the foot bridge
over the coulee Just this side of the old
Drew mill has become impassnble. We
have heard frequent complaints az to the
bad condition Of This Drudge, but was not
aware il was SO near gone. our city
council should take the matter in hand
and If found necessary build new bridge
at this point, or at least make the old one
passable, which we are informed can he
doneat slightexpense, The people living
below this bridge are much isolated at
best, and there are many children there
who now have to go round by the way of
Ryan street to get to school and endure
the consequent exposure to the mud and
water, AS the matter now stands, the
long foot-bridge across Pithon cOules,
built by the city at an expense of about
$4,000, is practically useless, with
out the other bridge, The lake frontpas-
sage way has always been fayorite and
''near cut" for pedestrians from the lower
part Of town as well as pleasant walk for
pleasure seekers, We hope soon TO see a
good passage way again along this route.
