semi impassable condit condition fod ioD in the winter and spring teams with loaded wagons frequently get stai stal stalled at points where the water ditches cross the streets this could be avoided by bluming flu ming it would incur a large amount of expense to flume every ditch that crosses a street but this is not absolutely sol necessary to make the roads passable passably for teams A piece of flume a rod or so in length at each point where the sect crosses the street would bo be sufficient A large amount of bluming of the ditches has already been beeri doneald done dono and it has greatly improved the localities where it has been laid and the suggestion as to whether it would not be well to todo do it sufficiently in id other ether parts of cof the city to make the streets easy of
