The editorial appearing in :

The editorial appearing in this
weeks issue of the Gardiner Jour-
nal concerning the conditions of the
sidewalks and hills about the city
has met with approval by many citi-
zens. Major Berry comments on the
former practice of using sand on
the hills and asks that this be used
once more in order to safeguard pc
destrians. Church Hill was the
scene of more than one fall Satur-
day and Sunday and the unwary who
were not used to the worst places
found themselves helpless halfway
up or down the hill. Major Berry's
suggestion is one of the best and
it is to be hoped that it is needed
at once.
