| Thus far very little appears to have
been accomplished in the way of open
| ing cutters and surface sewers along
| North Main street. The answer of the
street department to complaints concern
ing the manholes is that the surface sew
ers will freeze if they are opened, but
the belief still obtains that open cutters
on both sides OF the thoroughfare would
do much to alleviate flood conditions If a
heavy rain should come. Yesterday some
of the department laborers were engaged
in lowering the snow level in Depot |
square.

police headquarters recently to inventory

someone might have fallen into the
stream where the current prevents ice
from forming, but the scare was dissipat
ed when man in Northfield put in a
