Editor Avis,
Dear
Sir:
Please
let
us call the attention
of
the proper
authority
to
the
planting of
an electric
wire
pole
at
the
corner
of
Mr.
Pretto’s
grocery
so
far
out
into
ithe
street
that
the
width
of
same
is
reduced
at least
b feet.
There
nave
been
no less than
three
accidents
already,
and
last night one that might have
been
fatal,
<ll of them
with
cars
which
now
have
too little
room
to
operate
on account
of
this pule.
Also
that by the electrie
wire
being attached
to
the
top
of
the
lamp
stand
near the
post
office
the top
of the
stand
is being torn
off by said
wire which
is also drooping towards
tbe
ground
and
endangering
tratfic.
Kventually the lamp
stand
which
lis
a
piciureque
piece
of
antiquity
will be
disfigured.
Aiso

tending

road
alorg the

are
always

and
being
tripped
up
by
it.
Someone
will
geta dangerous
fall there
and
be
per-
haps
