The condition that exists on
Sordentown avenue between Broad |
way and Stevens avenue adjoining
the tracks of the Public Service |
Railway Company and which has
existed since the pavement of that
street Is a matter that has a num-
Der Of people on an edge. Some
people are of the opinion that the
oar of Freeho1ders should take
immediate action in the matter and
demand that the trolley company
pave that section between their
tracks. The city pavement is en-
dangered to no little extent by the

that the council will again notify
the Public Service company of this
neglect.
