The question of providing sidewalks for Main street in kensinston has been talked up recently in kcnsington snd is now brought forward and 10 inc attention Of residents on account Of the rainy weather and the recent warm spell.
 The need for sidewalks for Main street was felt by people Nenturing out on foot today. There is an abun- dance of dark, thick and soft mud, into which one sinks for about three inches in some places. Yesterday it was bad enough with the warm weather which thawed the frost out Of the ground and made it soft. But with the rain of last night and today, ono needs boots to walk from the Berlin Savings bank to Williams meat market. along the stretch Of thorough fare commonly designated as a side walk"
 Most Of the people have been walk ing in the road and here is another danger from auto trucks and other vehicles. At night people walking in the road are in constant danger of being struck.
 The providing Of sidewalks for Main street would also make if more safe for children on their way 10 school as they would not have to walk in the road.
 It has been stated that the idea may be brought to the attention Of tho kcnsington fire district commit tee for consideration. Sidewalks would he great improvement. how ever. an saded convenience and cer- tsiDly a safety measure.
 Another place that was in bad shape this morning and evoked many exclamations on tine part Of resi- dents. was the space or ground around tho trolley station al the kilby House in Kensington. Stills were needed by those boarding troll Icy cars II they desired 10 keep their shoes free from mud. This condition also prevails at other trolley stations.
