 Editor of the DEMOCRAT:
 Dear Sir-For the past ten years the people of Dublin street have been fighting for the completion of sidewalks on that street, but owing to aqfew disgrunted prop erty owners (who, by the way, do not live on the street., the work has dragged along from year to year notwithstanding the pro tests of the residents. Above the Meriden depot the city Gnstead of of insisting on the laying if proper walk by the abuttink property own CTS as orderedl has condescended to lay plank walk which is a model one of its kind indeed. IL our much respected read board could have witnessed scene enacted at this point yesterday it would probably have A tendency to urge them to action in the petition now in their hands. In the walk referred U above, the blanks are placed far enough apart to allow the feet of small children to slip doSn between. An accident of this kind happened yestsr- day, A little girl while going to church slipped her foot down between the blanks and had her foot wedged in so tightly that it had to be dragged out by main force. Were it not for the fact that help was close at hand the little one would probably have broken her leg. and the invariable result would follow-a lawsuit against the city. This incident was witnessed by some of the most respected residents of Dublin street, who were loud in their de- nunciations. of the negligence of officials in past years for not giving this matter more decent consideration. There has already been a suit brought against the city for injuries sustained near this point. It Is hoped that the road board will act tayorably and promptly on this matter al their next meeting. and thereby earn the gratituds of people residing on the street. Respectfully,
 X RESIDENT.
