Much comment of an unfavorablo nature is being passed by pedestrians regarding the condition of the un- derpass in Kcnsingeon, which, due to the recent snoWs, is in bad shape. | Flows have made lane which per mits the passage of automobiles, but | the pedestrians have been left en- | tircly out of the calculations and the i sidewalks is covered by about four | feet of snow which is rapidly har- l dening into a drift of ice.
