The heavy rain of yesterday has
placed the roads in awful condition in
many places, especially here in Prince
ton where the condition of the streets
is frightful, and are enough to stagger
a farmer used to all kinds of bad roads.
The street in front of the UNION Office
and between the new buildings and the
Ross residence is indeed a backwood's
picture and is in strange contrast to
the cement crosswalks recently put
down, and which are buried from sight
most of the time. Villages generally
incorporate for the purposes of fire
protection, good roads, walks, sanitary
and health measures, etc., but unless
Princeton can improve soon in some of
these respects it might as well 90 back
