A ROCKY ROAD.
An Object Lesson on a Downtown
Business Block

If any one wishes to see a handbook
ing thoroughfare he has only to go and
gaze on the block on Sixth street be-
tween and K. 1t has about the most
uneven surface of any Of the many
uneven blocks in the city, and is COW
cred with loose cobblestones that roll
about on top of the ground.
These stones vary in size from an
inch in diameter to three or four inches,
and there are enough Of them in that
800 feet to fill several wagons. 1t
would take two men about two hours to
rake them together so they could be
hauled away.
If the city cannot afford to pay for
having the streets cleared of these
stones, what is the matter with having
the chaingang do it? 1t costs a great
deal of money to provide jails and off,
GERS, and why should not the people get
something back in the way Of service
Of this kind?
