DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT. "A two

ATTENTION, SOMEBODY.-Amo
a number of inexpensive, but very I'M
portant improvements that The city CT
ici3ls should lock after is a little cui-
vert ibIGdge situated on Central avenue
nearly in front of the Building former
ly occupied by the Lamson business
college,. 1t is only a small affair, a
foot or two in width, BIT. the plank
that tops the bridge is loose at the
ends and fastened in the center. When
a horse Steps upon 1t in the right pace
be is dropped down into the ditch or
throws the other end OF the plank up
to trip the horse travelling beside him.
Some day a horse will break his leg,
perhaps run away. smash up a buggy
Or kill somebody and a damage suit (

The avenue is one of the best drives !
adjacent to town and is ilrequented by /
many daily on pleasure bent. and !
some of them drive horses that are
of good speed, making the lit /
lie bridge all the more dangerous. /
The avenue is not always brilliantly /
lighted, either, and that fact some !

7ause 'thsir deeds IRE evil, but because !
3ome good deeds ars too good for those !

public into their confidence. 1t fire. /
Iuently occurs also along IN this vi /
Unity that the driver only has one !
