Often times tl ere are paddles ankle deep and pedestrats have to cross the road to avoid them It is very annoying. Many people are disposed to blame the city authorities for this neglect when tn reality It should be put upon the prop erty holders. .In the majority of pluses where the buildings are near the sldn- walk, conductors are seen discharging the waste water on the sidewalk making depressions and filling the walk v 1th water. In many other ways the pi op- erty holders should be held responsible for the bad condition of the walks und not the city. Now that the disagreeable season Ij at hand when this feature will be more common than ever, it shomld behoove a J property holders whose sidewalks are more or less submerged, to repair sh!s fault and thereby bring the blessing) c f the pedestrians on their beads.
