We have been requested to call the at
tention of the city council to the condi-
tion of the streets leading to the school
house. Inasmuch as this street has been

pupils who are compelled to use this
street constantly we urge the impor-

the purpose of entertainments, but the
place is inaccessible, and the house not
being planned for such uses, is poorly
