Commissioner Hale has just finished
repairs upon the sidewalk on Bridge
hill. This walk has been something of
q problem for number of years and it
seems almost impossible to do a perma

for the purpose. During the heavy
showers and especially In the spring
when the snow Is going off, large quaint
ties of water pass through the ditch
under this walk and gullies deep holes
letting the supporting timbers drop I'M
til 1t would make a very salt sailor sea
sick to walk over it. This year Mr.
Hale has made plank sluiceway for the
water to run in, and hopes to keep it
In check from further damage by wash
out at least until the planks rot out.
