tar began TO ooze out OF the cracks and
from tho top OF the blocks. As dainty
pumps settled IN the sticky mass they
remained there, 20 the dismay Of their
owners. who were forced at times TO
stoop over. pull them loose and put
them on again IN tho street The tar
was so soft II was tracked all over the
sidewalks.
