There are two mud holes on two
prominent streets in the town which
are a disgrace to the place. One is on
Willis street along the side of the rear
part of the Cliff House lot and the
other is on the east side of Marina at
Gurley. The sidewalk from the latter
place was removed When the street
grading was done and has never been
rebuilt and pedestrians along that
thoroughfare are compelled to walk in
mud and siush ankle deep during
storm periods. The spot on Willis
street referred does not seem to ever
have had a regular sidewalk. The
street committee of the city council
would receive a blessing from people
who have occasion to travel these
streets by having sidewalks built over
these muddy places or even the laying
of plsnk=.
