Brookings is noted for its splendic
sidewalks and disgusting street cross
ings The city demands that pro
perty holders construct substantial
walks and that they shall keep then
free from snow and then the stree
crossings are either neglected, re
moved or are placed below the leye
of the street. II is real pleasant L
walk along dry shod on the Sidewalk
and then come TO street CROSSING
where the mud and water is ankle
deep. This prevails over the city il
general, but more particularly where
the crossings are needed the most
Either the city should MAINTAIN bette
crossings or not be so exacting re
garding sidewalks. We don't neet
crossings in dry weather and if we arr
not to have suitable crossings let
tear up the sidewalks and be good
old fashioned country folks"
