best plea p'jssibRl asking for
some drains, so that the surplus
water from cross streets and
alleys might be conveyed under
the sidt walks instead of letting
it deluge the walks as it is now
doing. Our appeal would have

we have come to the conclusion
that a little more common sense

would have better conditions.

^Once upon atime the celebrated

?^ay, but we were so far behind
ti'ie times that we did not under-
icand or comprehend the wisdom

in form of amendments. These

on this vital issue now agitating
