In the north end of town c. Winton
Wriglcy has been adding much to the
/ looks and improvements of his proper
ty by laying a flag stone walk along
Main street. IT is one of the finest
walks in town. There is now con-
tinuous flag walk from the Academy to
the top of the old depot hill. with the
exceptions of in front of the old depot
cemetery. \ few feet of bad walk at
MIR. Rrayton'S and the uOrthcrly APP
proach 70 the Iron bridge. The last
two named places are in bad COndi
ton, and are dangerous places for pto-
pie to travel over after dark. The
councils immediate action on such
places would be appreciated by the
people that have to travel over such
bad places in the sidewalks, and the
taxpayers, as the borough is liable to
have TO pay some one large bill of
damages.
