To the Editor of the News:
A party of men were out recently
looking over the sidewalks in the
southeast part Of town and the con-
cave grade to which the walk on the
side Of one block was built caught
the attention of all the men. Appar-
emily this piece Of walk was put in
without first having an engineer es-
tablish the grade, for surely no engi-
neer could authorize such q monstros-
ity as this piece of work. For the
sake of the good appearance Of our
streets when they are eventually
graded and paved. All sidewalks
should be built to grade and instead
of swaying up and down to the con-
tour of the surface in any single
block, should be built on q straight
line from the lowest to the highest
point in the block. At least it is the
way walks are built in modern cities.
