NO SIDEWALKS In
TWELFTH WARD
Residents Of That Section are
CFiticiSine StFeetald Sewer
Department

The condition Of the sidewalks IN the
southwestern section Of the city, par
ticularly in the Twelfth ward are such
that complaints are continually being
made by the residents OF that part Of
Wilmington. The streets are equally
bad, but as the Street and Sewer De-
Dartment has no money. no relief is
expected on this score
The sidewalks, however. I'm the opin-
ion of many, could be repaired, With
out any cost to the city, and why they
are not is causing considerable COM
ment and criticism OF the department.
Some time ago the voters Of the
Twelfth ward organized an improve
ment association and several meetings
were held. The condition of the streets
and sidewalks We're then discussed and
the members Of the Street and Sewer
Department We're told OF the absolute
need Of immediate improvements.
Nothing was done to relieve the condi-
tons then existing. and they are now
much worse.
In many places there are no side
walks at all and the people are obliged
to walk in tho streets. Where there
are pavements in a number OF cases.
they are so much IN need OF repai.
that no sidewalk at all would be just
as good. The property owners should
be made TO repair them and the Street
and Sewer Department. is being looked
to to have the work done.
