The streets are in an awful condition
from mud. Recently the city Council
awarded a contract to some parties to
keep the streets clean, but the people
who have the contract do not appear to
be doing great deal. Not only the streets
are muddy but the crossings are not even
cleaned, and it is impossible to get across
without wading in the sloppy nsire.

tinsville. are in the city.
