In behalf of the citizens who live in the north-west portion of the town, we would earnestly call the attention of our Mayor to the miserable condition of the side-walks that they are compelled to traverse; and especially do we point out the gully between the residences of Messrs. NEILSON and CRAWFORD, also, the one immediately south of Mrs. HODGE‘s residence. We know that the financial condition of the corporation is at a low ebb, still a little attention might be paid to the locality referred to. During the first part of the present week, it was almost impossible for ladies and children to reach the business part of town or attend school without wading shoe-mouth deep in mud. We do not like to make complaints, but surely there is abundant cause for this one. May his Honor live a thousand years and – FIX UP THE SIDEWALKS.
