February 2, Candlemas day, more

Dangerous PaYements,

Many pavements throughout the city
just now are in a dangerous condition.
There are a number of places where the
water from the melting snow came down
from rain spouts and is allowed TO flow
over the pavements and freeze. The
water from these spouts during freezing
weather should be kept from the pave
ments, but if this is found to be impos-
sibe the owners should scatter coal ashes
over the ice, which would make walking
much safer and probably save some per-
son from being badly hurt.
