AS we were on our way to Hinck-

| that perhaps if our street commission
er would see that the same was done
along the roads in our town it would
be far better as in many places along
our roads the limits of trees and
bushes will when laden with snow or
wet with rain or heavy dews hang
so low as to hit ones head thereby
/ giving them a showering of rain or
snow which is far from being pleas
ant and making them wish the com
missioner was obliged to ride through

would like it.
