Car S%talled-It would perhaps not
be hard to prove to Mrs. Z. l.. Hicks
that the streets Of Brownsville need
paving. Yesterday afternoon while
driving in her car in the neghbor-
hood Of 10th and Levee streets she
had a rather disagreeable experience
with one of the large holes that
adorn the streets of u lovely city.
In attempting to make a turn at
that place she backed her machine
into one of those plEces where the
street would be if the hole was not
there. The place was about three
feet wide and three deep. One of
the wheels Of the car dropped into
1t, and it took the united efforts Of
several bystanders to free the ma
chine and enable the lady to pro-
coed.
