week that teams can be driven around
the corner OF Main and Douglas on
walk and commerce and travel has not
been greatly impeded and life and limb
threatened
There viii be no lack Of roaring when
the street car line is finished and they
get the curb stones back. Ieveled up and
smooth like an Indiana cordoroy road.
I see the principal ornaments OF the
alleys in the resident portion Of the city
is tinFcans and manure piles. while il the
business portion Of the city they are
cleaner than the streets, thanks 10 the
efficient street commissioner. Neatly
kept yards. well trimmed lawns and
parkings. and clean streets and alleys are
regarded as high evidence Of a city's
prosperity as large factories and are one
OF its best means of attracting desirable
citizens.
Talking about the beautiful scenery.
looking south from the Maple street
bridge. reminds one OF trip down the
St Lawrence among the Thousand ISL
ands.
I think the reason why the Ninth street
route TO the park is not Travelled any as
compared with the other routes is on ac-
count Of that unsightly hole near the
park, which is being used fer q. dump.
There are q thousand diseases OF different
kinds in that hole and as many smells.
There was great disappointment among

Oh no. it don't make any difference

I would have one OF Daisy's street

think would prefer ten minutes
service without a conductor to q twenty
minutes service with conductor. But
what il the motoneer running on ten
minutes service is making change for a
passenger as the car Is nearing a street
crossing. and I notice that that IS invar-
isbly the time when the passengers want
change, and all at once; and the car
crashes into a carriage and kills OF mains
one or more persons. Then what?

was out to the park the other evening
and saw several couples Of young lovers

Whispering 20 each other. Jack. one Of

The city needs water-ttght street
