Quite A Problem
Where does all the mad oome from
that accumulates pn oar streets? There
Is only one answer It Is bronght by
the trafflo from the outside. Eugene
streets are all solid and wall graveled
so that of themselves the streets pro
duce little or no mad. ;
But that mad will aooumlate rapidly
Is shown from the fact that the force
of 27 men and 17 teams that have been
at work cleaning op healed o9 789
loads of mud at a oost of $280 to the
olty.
Now thst tbe mud is all removed
the holes and crosswalk approaches
are to be filled with gravel. Tbe streets
around the parks and court bouse are
undergo similar repairs. Eugent Re
