It has not been decided et and the streets are a mess. At the head of Main street the mud is two inches' deep and when soaked with the sprinkler makes wheeling very dangerous.

If the pavement at this point, particularly, is not cleaned pretty soon some automobile will skid into the curb and break a wheel, perhaps even overturn and injure someone, and then the borough will have some damages to pay. It is almost impossible to make the turn without skidding, even at a speed of four miles per hour. Let's have the pavements cleaned and then kept clean; most of the business men are willing to help pay for it, if necessary, The work done in street cleaning by hand was satisfactory. It has been anything but satisfactory to the business men since They all said so at the recent meeting to discuss the matter, but the Council did not see fit to comply with their request.
