the east end of Scott street has been
laid and rolled down, and the latter
end of the week the crew quit work on
the street temporarily TO allow sewersto
be laid. Since then the work of macad-
amIzing jefferson street from First to
Third has begun. The work progresses
much faster this year than ordinarily,
because there is large supply of rock
on hand and the crusher crew can keep
the street crew well supplied with rock.
The patching of sidewalks will not be
tolerated hereafter, so says the council !
1t has been the custom by some property
owners to nail slabs or pieces of tin
over holes in their sidewalks or fill up
the holes by driving sticks into them
Some of these walks are worse than no
walks and far more dangerous. By
resolution passed at the last meeting of |
the council, property owners hereafter
will be compelled to replace broken |
or decayed plank with new one or the !
city will do it and make charges to the
owner accordingly.
