Thoroughfares in a Deplorable Con-
dition-Rev. Hughes to Preach.
Personal News.


our principal thoroughfares are in a
most deplorable condition, owing to the
thaw of the past few days. The street
commissioner has been kept quite busy
opening up the drains and cleaning
the crosswalks. but in the latter case
it is of no avail as the overflow of
slush and mud i'm the centre of the
street washes over the walks and inn
mediately after being overhauled they
are again in the same condition. This
could be remedied very easily If the
coUncil would see to it during the sum
nhr months that the refuse which is
taken from bitches be carted away to
some waste bank, instead of being put
upon the streets. Substitute ashes or
broken stone when the weather breaks
up, as it will pay in the end.
