Why cannot something be done to

shipiey street above Fourth The
roadway at that point IS full OF gull
lies and holes. resulting in many bro-
ken springs and in some instances
people nearly being thrown from their

even surface.
Perhaps the dead-broke street and
Sewer Department would rather pay
heavy damages in some cases than to
expend a few cents toward having the
