Sidewalks and Crossings a Mess (1866)
We call the attention of our worthy Mayor to the miserable condition of the sidewalk and crossings along the east side of the street that runs in front of the residences of R. G. CRAWFORD, Mrs. HODGES and others. We dare say that the sidewalk referred to is as much frequented by pedestrians as any other in the city, and it certainly is in a very bad condition. Our city fathers would receive the hearty thanks of a large portion of the citizens if they would take a little of the corporate fund and repair the sidewalk referred to.
