Call for Immediate Sidewalks on Twenty third Street
Two children were marooned in a flooded Daniel Webster school area last week. The mayor, board of works, police, or janitor are urged to order cement walks along Twenty third Street from Market to Broadway to protect health and prevent mud and water hazards. Residents threaten to pull children from school if walks are not built. The city also plans Erie avenue repairs with Street Commissioner Truax coordinating efforts as traction crews halt until alignment.
