Last winter We complained of the
streets OF ST. Marys, but already We
wish they were in as good condition,
as they were then. Main or Second
street especially is in terrible condi-
dition. bitches dug on either side of
the railroad for water mains and sewer
pipes have been hlled in loosely, and
wagons are sticking and horses miring
so that it is absolutely dangerous to
ride or drive down the principal thor
oughfares. Whether the Council or the
contractors are to blame Is mooted
question.
