There is strcng uudercurrent OF
feeling that the improvement of the
SIDEWALKS is the order of the day.
Strong complaint ID being made on a
sides about numerous step-uffs thai
exists in the SIDEWALKS in aitie Ell ent larts
Of The city. 1t is very annoying to a
pede 5trlau 10 be maklog lively tracks
ON the sidewalks at nlgut and run into
5tep-On OF u loot or so lower than the
pavement on which lie has been walk
ing. The board sidewalks are also
nuisance and the time has come when
city that is growing like Fl Paso
should condemu all such clap traps and
dead falls. If mprovements in side
walks were kept abreast o: the times
people who have valuable proper ty that
they are holding unimproved for high
prices would be willing to sell to people I
who would Improve the property.
