the road. and as a result more than a
score OF men, women. and children
haye been injured in the past year

larry menacing to the ehildren in the
community who must walk on the
road to and from the Reservoir
School. Miss Van SAINT said. She
pointed out that only last week a
boy walking in the road had his ankle
broken when he was struck by an
automobile

phops and electric light Companies
hlya both moved their poles back

buli the sidewalk. however. is still
a deep gutter impossible to traverse.
