Show Now that the fall work on road building and repairing is about to be done it would be well to direct the attention of the road authorities to the condition con-dition that exists on lower Main near the depot. There are a number of low places that should be built up so that water would not remain standing several sev-eral days after each storm making mak-ing a large pool and mud hole for the traveling public to be hindered in their pursuits. Many of the water ways and road crossing should be built up and repaired so that the over flow of water would not flood the roads and crossings in the lower part of the city. Mount Pleasant has an ideal drainage and if streets and ditches are kept in proper condition there will be no difficulty in the winter months. Last winter there was so much water flooded flood-ed the streets in the lower part of the city that traffic was almost al-most impassible. Many complaints com-plaints came from the residents in that part on account of the streams overflowing their banks farther up the creek and flooding flood-ing the streets with water and ice. All this difficulty can be avoided if the water ways and low places are repaired at the proper time. |
