The people living on West Salem ave-
nue. are kicking because Of the TACT that
wagons are driven over h, sidewalks be-
tween Tenth and Thir, zenith streets g. w.
This ia done every time 1t lains and
makes it very inconvenient for pedes-
TRANS who are compelled to wade through
the mud along this thoroughfaIe. This
should be remedied so the ''Kicker" says,
and the authorities should enforce the
sidewalk ordinance.
The past week demonstrated the fact
that the city authorities are very slow
building the pavements to the postofiice
approaches. This is ouch needed i'm
proyement and one that the ''Kicker''
must insist on being a disgrace to the
city as long as the improvement in ques-
tion remains unimproved. Give the PEG.
