Show OUR SIDEWALKS. The unprecedented!! inclement weather of the winter of 1S90-1S91, to which we are glad to bid farewell after many disappointed hopes of a let up in the storm squalls, had as its most disagreeable consequences, great damages to the streets and sidewalks. The long period of stoiins rendered all wok f improvement imposssble from early in the season. Good labor has now been inaugurated in the principal parts of town and the activity on the part of the public authorities, seconded sec-onded by the private individuals, bids fair to put Provo in the proudrank of leading communities in the matter of thoroughfares as in all other respects. The forced uspesion of the operations opera-tions made last fall has made things quite bad and the frequent rain stoi ms and heavy and repeated snow falli have rendered the streets and sidewalks, side-walks, at times, almost impassable for I days. Now, however, that spring's bland smiles and Sol's desiccating breath are spread over the city, the snow is disappearing and the mad pools are drying up, and there will be a renewal of the good work all over town, especially es-pecially first in the business part of the city. Everything is favorable for a vigorous resumption of last j'ear's unfmiseed labors, in the prosecution of which it is expected that our wide awake citizens will not bo slack, neither slovenly. It is a matter devolving seriously upon each and every one, not only upon up-on this or that one. The sidewalks all over the city limits are to form one uninterrupted solid network for tbe residents to and from all points, the i-jore .necessary in the view of the thousands of strangers who will come Ito our town, as tourists, investors and settlers. |
