Some Of the John street residents think
it an outrage that they shonld be com
PEELED to walk through dishwater on
lSlover's sidewalk in John street. They
say it is bad enough to be compelled to
Inhale the odor from it, when 1t stands
in the gutter in the street, without the
additional nuisance In the shape of an
uncovered gutter ON the sidewalk. There
is along the water @which flows from the
gutter on the bnilding, on to the sidewalk
and, as was published last winter 1t
forms a miniature skating pond, very
slippery and just the place for a tumble
when Jack Frost visits us. Both of these
lgutters should be attended to- 1t seems
Istrange indeed that 1t has been tolerated
to long. Last winter it was marked by
. parties residing in the street and by
i Others that 1t was shameful'that the en-
p trance to such a beautiful street as John
! street is, should be either a mass Of slush
OF an ice pond.
