A general complaint is going up from
the residents of the town, and especial
~ the teamsters, in regard to the con-
dition that the streets are being left in
by those who have the paving con-
tract. Their kick seems justifiable in
aSmuch as the streets are torn up long
before they make any attempt to pave
them. Pike street is an excellent ex-
ample. One-half of it was plowed up
about a month ago and yesterday the
other side was put in the same condi-
ton, making it almost impossible.
