 The borough gang of workmen were busy vesterday clearing out the gutters on Center and Colony streets and none too soon, as there are forty or more other streets in the borought that need attention as much as the streets all ready operated upon. on Hall avenue west of the track and Washington street the gutters are piled full of snow and the sidewalks are and will be wet and sloppy.
 The rain was falling early last eve ming with a prospect of rainy night and a not cheerful prospect of a wet and slushy time for to-day, when rup- her boots would be in demand. Where the gutters have been cleared, and that ie not a great distance, there is some chance for the water to run off, but if the rain continues the trunk sewer on Center and Quinnipiac streets is not large enough to half carry off the sur face water and flooded cellars Will pc plenty.
