 Roads in Poor Shape
 Many of the roads in the city are in deplorable condition. an inspec- ton by the department of public works indicates. Much damage has been caused by the numerous heavy rains of the winter and the small amount of snow, which left the roads unprotected from tho heavy frosts. The expenditures for repairs this summer. it is believed, will ex. ceed those of the past ten years by q big margin.
 Several claims have been present cd to the city council because Of damage to automobiles. caused by large holes in the road. It is under stood that a large claim has been received from an automobile owner for damage to his car as . result of striking a deep hole in the highway near the corner of Stafford avenue and Fair streets. This spot hos since been repaired by the public works department. Many of the 'armers in the outlying sections of he city, who have been able to use automobiles all winter. have during he past two weeks been obliged to -esort to old dobbin. because of the iepth of the mud. to reach tho cen- CT of the city. Repairs to the high. ways have already been started un- fer the direction of Foreman Daniel Donovan. ..'.
