 believe the poor devil of q pedes- Irlan, who has to pay enormous taxes, has still yestige O right.
 Now think of the children that have 10 crawl over these hillocks Of lee to get across Queen street either at Prince or Goodwin. II the whole common council could be marched up there and made to straddle those hillocks, they migbt learr what Is decent and they might be also like the wedding guest of the Ancient Mariner, if they 'haply slipped on their butts, leave sadder and wiser men
 Hope you will take this under Personally, I am now unable to make clear paths and hew down hillocks and you know full well how difficult it is to get any help.

 Hearings of Pavement Work
 A series of hearings on the lay ing of permanent paving on Sum mer street, Main street and Meadow street and the widening and reset ting of curbs on those streets, all of which work took place during the past summer, brought out only one interested property owner. He was Joseph II. Hayes, owner of the prop erty at the corner of Main and Sum mer streets. who gave the city a small strip of land on Summer street in order that the street might be widened. There seemed to be some misunderstanding regarding Mir. Hayes assessment due to verbal agre ements entered into between him and the city at the time that he made his gift.
 As result the matter of the as easements for the laying of paving on Main street, the laying of paving on Summer street and the resettipg of the curbing on Summer street were referred to a committee con- sisting of the street committee, the of public works and the city engineer to report back at the next meeting.
 It was voted to have the assess ments for the resetting of the curb ing on Main street and the construc- tion of sewer materials on that street payable Sa February 2S and the assessments for the Meadow street paving and the resetting of curbing on Meadow street payable in two equal installments on Febru- ary and August Is.
