Supervisor Milby has put one
whole load of dirt on Broad street
this week, filling holes that should
require six large loads of dirt. This
street is a disgrace 20 the town and
as repaired 90 by the present su-
pervisor is a complete waste of the
public's money. Near the Union
street end of Broad street are sew
eral deep ruts washed by rains that
reach from gutter to gutter. In
these ruts not more than five SHOW
elfuls of dirt have been dumped in
+he repairs done this week-and
this dirt put near the north curb.
We invite the street committee OF
council to visit this street and in
yestigate the work done. This street
is much used by auto traffic and we
venture to say that more. springs
have been broken by the deep ruts
on this street than all other streets
in town. We realize the difficult
task required to keep dirt roads IN
good condition but intelligent repair
work. often done, would keep this
street in fair condition. 1t is not
getting the proper attention from
the street committee. May we expect
prompt consideration Of the mat
ter?
