STREETS ARE CRYING
SHAME To CITY
North Holman Street Full
of Ruts and Holes After
a Supposed Repair.

The make-shift repairing of Ham
mond streets by city is being round
ly condemned by taxpayers as waste
Of money.
Not long ago the city tore UP Fayette
street with a scariher and rolled it with
a steam roller. The street is in as bad
condition as before. If not worse. North
Holman street received the same at
tention with the same results and now
Conkey avenue is getting it. North Hoh-
man street is in frightful condition.
The work was never done right in the
first place
Meanwhile the city's streets are in
disgraceful condition. The Holman
street pavement through the downtown
district is the greatest commercial
drawback the city has and north OF the
river the street is practically impossible
-as bad as some mud road down in
Illinois.
