believe, were the streets of Belfast so muddy
as last week. They have been going from bad
to worse for some time, due to the use of cay
loan instead of gravel and the scraping of the
dirt ont of the cutters into the streets--a
practice condemned by all authorities on roads,
1t is said that the city pays Is cents load for
this clay loan and that it is brought from such
distance that pair of horses can haul but
four loads day, while the gravel formerly
used cost but ten cents load and ten to twelve
city team, driver and two men, doing the
work formerly done by Street Commissioner
Robbins with his own team, the use of which
was included in his salary of $780, it is readily
seen how SO much money can be expended on
the streets with SO little to show for it. The
walks are in as bad condition as the streets
