One of the worst crossings in Fair |
Haven is over Grand avenue at Front |
street. w. f. Hubbard, manager of the |
Booth Meat Co. has complained to the |
board of public works, but nothing has |
been done. In time Of rain or melting |
snow the crossing is in terrible shape. |
The present is one of these times, and
Fair Haven sharpe would almost float |
across the street.
Some of the fast Fair Haven horses |
were drawing cutters on Orange street |
Wednesday, but the sleighing was no
good yesterday, There has hardly been
a time this winter when the fast trot-
ters could be trotted on the snow as the
sleighing has been poor. With fav-
orable time for fast trotting, the Fair
Haven horses will be in evidence.
