Show the ditches again the water ditches were not cleaned out be fo rethe frosty weather set in and the co consequence n e was as predicted the streets in many places were filled with water and ice on saturday morning last one frosty night having been sufficient to freeze up those water courses which like the one on the west side of east temple tempie street were filled up with filth wood had nad hax hay straw and other rubbish which by the dmd w d or some other agency has been deposited there and suffered to remain for months and till it may be too late to have them properly cleaned out before next spring 0 the streets around the temple block and in the vicinity of the council house were thoroughly 0 irrigated on saturday and on returning a home in the evenin evening 0 we had to wade through 0 water nearly half leg deep on the west side of the lle ile lie temple block the water having been turned out of its course by one ore of those dams that are not needed at this season of the year some people may like to wade in water and slide about on ice in the streets but those who prefer to have their feet warm and dry are quite willing 0 to forego all such pleasure the water master is not to blame borall the inconveniences that arise from the overflowing 0 of the water passing 0 through the city as it would be nearly or quite an impossibility for him to keep all tha the sects clean and in good repair every individual ought to be interested te enough in the matter to remove the filth tand rand keep the water courses fixed up in front of their respective lots and residences and if they would do it the water would be kept clean pure and healthy it is not pleasant to refer to such matters so often but when an evil exists it should be pointed out and the cause causa if possible removed 1 I when the streets of 0 the city are repaired and the pure waters raters of city creek are permitted to flow in the tho proper channels unobstructed d by filth and rubbish once more we shall shail take pleasure in announcing the fact to the public |
