SOUTH AMB0Y.


Parties are coplaining of the con-
dition of Main street, between Broad
way and Stevens avenue, where the
Public Service Traction Company
has been strengthening the tracks.
They have dug out about two feet
each side of the rails and have
thrown the stone back loosely and it
is dangerous for horses and wagons,
ii is said. One party says, do or
borough officials know that there is.t
law prohibiting the laying alo I'd
loose of certain sized stones on the
roads?" 1t would appear that the
borough officials could employ a large
portion of their time looking after
that trolley company in order to have
them do what is right. The trolley
company should know the law and
act accordingly, but 1t seems that
somebody has to be trotting after
them most of, the time in order to
keep them straight.
