THE WALDO AVENUE MATTER. In pursuance
OF vote at former meeting the aldermen in
spected the ditch in front of the properties of
P.D. H. Carter and Elijah S. Shuman last Mon
day afternoon. What they thought of it was
shown by the order passed at the regular meet
ing that evening to have the ditch or drain en-
larged sufficiently to carry off the flow of
water and restore the covering. There is no
sewer Waldo avenue and the drainage from
the residences of Messrs. Carter and Shuman
went into this ditch, or rather covered drain
which was most thoroughly constructed by
the owners of the abutting property. 1t was
covered with large fiat rock, earth graded over
it and sodded, and was both slightly and sani-
tary. Now there is an open ditch, exposing
the drainage, the whole neighborhood is dis
figured and the fall rains and winter frosts will
soon make inroads on the lawns and fill up the
ditch The action Of the city government in
this matter will be generally commended.
