Time to Prod Selectmen About South
Main Street Stairs.

Editor of The Reformer:
The town fathers are TO be congrat-
ulatCd on the fine job they have done
on Vernon street from the railroad sta
tion to the sales pavilion. For that
distance Vernon street is now in as
good condition as any street in town.
Although quite expensive, II is Ger
tainlv worth all il cost and will be APP
preciated by all who are compelled to
use it, whether residents or visitors.
Of course the work done by the town
roller from the road to the front door
Of the pavilion, which is on private
property, is to be paid for by MessrS
| Clapp x Co., for surely the selectmen
would not do work on private property.
without cost, when they do not DO the
necessary snow removal on a public
| highway.
/ Now for the leone back the tax
payers on Prospect hill (surely there
! are some. tax payers there; they are
not all in the cemeteries would like to
know why. Clapp & Co., and l.. l. Allen
have pull enough to get the work
| done when those who are compelled
to use the stairs from South Main
street to Prospect street cannot get
them attended to. The condition of
these stairs on several different ocea-
sions this winter haa been disgrace
full and for the sake of their own bones
few Of the users have cleaned them
off, but why the road commissioner
should not clean off the stairs is a
| mystery as they are a public highway
! and as such should be attended to az
much as any of the streets
This matter has been brought to tho
attention of the selectmen before this,
1 but il does no good; if YOU want any
| thing done kick for il between Feb
ruary ! and March | and il NAV be
! looked after; at no other time in the
/ year Will 1t have any weight Has
town meeting anything to do with that
| One of the selectmen has used the Stair
| and should lock after it. but for some
| reason does not. OF course West Brat
tleboro is pretty well taken care Of;
! Is that because the man whose time
expires this year is from the west vii
! lage? We hope it will not again be
necessary tQ,eaA this ma ter tnJthe at
/ tentlOn OF the sclectmen but that the
road commissioner will be instructed &C
| look after it. Mr. Walker did attend
TO IT one season, and we know if Mr.
| Wallace receives instructions he, also
will attend to it.
! While on the subject let Us also refer
! to the necessity of putting in new
stairs The present ones have been
| PATCHED and are so rotten, in places
that a nail will not hold Parts of the
rail are broken. and the stairs are in
q dangerous condition Anyone who
has at times patched these stairs knows
this to be fact
The combined efforts of all the kick
ers IN Prospect street has not been sui
hclent to have these matters attended
to and we hope this letter will accomp
hsh the purpose and We sincerely thanh
YOU for publishing the same.
