MARTINS FERRY.

The residents of Jefferson street, es-
pecialiy those living on the north side
Of the street, are very indignant over
the manner in which the City Council
allow the street to be used to carry
off the water from the coal bank at
the west end of the street. During the
warm weather it is not so bad, but
now the water freezes, making it very
disagreeable and in fact dangerous,
especially at Catawba street. Council
should look after this matter, as the
street is not fit place to drain water
from coal bank the year around.
