The attention of the city
fathers is again called lo the
condition of (he cross walks in
the business part of town. It
is a shame for a city of this size
to allow its crossings to remain
in the condition they now are

the city would certainly not be
very great to keep one man at
work cleaning off the mud. At

forced to wade across the streets
in mud almost shoe top deep.
This should be stopped and the
only way to stop it is to have
the mud taken off the cross
