 No Effort to Remedy Conditions
 " our committee wishes 1t were able 10 give the members of the common council and those of our citizens who live in localities fav- ored by fairly good streets. an ade- quate idea Of the deplorablc and in eNcusable condition Of some of these dirt streets, dcplorablc be cause of the inconvenience and dis caused the peope who live on them and eXcusabe because these conditions are nothing new. They have existed for years. under democratic as well as republican ad- and mp 10 the present time we know of no healthy, honest 1 to-goodncss effort having been made Y! to remedy them.
 Conditions are especially distress 1 ing in the fifth and sixth wards l where large numbers of people are l crowded into small areas and where ! the coal team, the bakers cart. the l milk wagon, and even the vcgeta bfc ! pe1dler, are forced to extreme ef- | forts in order to make their daily | rounds, at certain times of the year. l
 '"The other wards also. each have 1 : largo share of these dirt streets 1 md your committee saw street after ot deep mud holes and when the i ground was frozen, by deep ruts md Sullies where a car could not . pass. We saw places where the sidewalks had been used as road ways, where cars had passed be- tween houses, through back yards. i md across open lots, to get around , bad streets, and We saw other sec lions where, if doctor were called. ! he must needs leave his car and walk . to the house Of his patient.
 50 much for the dirt streets, We f have recommendations regarding | hem which we will offer later.
 Semi Permanent streets |
 ''rhe semi-permancn streets, so- talled, were considered by us to mean all macadam and other stone streets, subject to oiling, sanding and other methods Of work ng. Most of these streets are no 'redit to our city because they are rot kept in repair. Stanley. Broad, Maple, Whiting. Rockwell avenue. ilen. Shuttle Meadow avenue and street are all terrible 'Namples and there are many others.
