Whether it was the board Of safe

fact remains that somebody wasn't

When the pavement was put in a

guarantee was placed on IT. The
board decided that under no circum-
stances could they permit the re-

question OF platforms for the traf-

il was decided Cby what board no

pavement should be laid complete.
and that the mats then in use would
be continued.
The mats. however, wore out, and
the policemen want something to

That the pavement was down. and
that il would not be torn up TO al
