The town authorities have begun
the work of replacing the old stone
crossings with vitri6ed brick, an i'm
provemsnt that will be greatly appre-
ciatsd by pedestrians and which is in
harmony with the many new pave
ments laid by individuals. The stones
in the crossings have been taken up
and ground into bits in the oapacious
Jaws of the steam stone crusher and
replaced as macsdsm upon the streets
Future generations will rise up and
bless this council for giving us good
crossings, while those who have stub.
bed their toes upon the rough stones
or soiled their stockings BY stepping
into the lurking puddles will rejoice
that their trials are over. We sug.
gest that this good work be further
extended by relsying some of the
present brick crossings that have sunk
into the mud or been covered with
