To further dismembcr the street, the ditch digger for the new sewer dug a ditch in the middle of the street which caved in. VVhen cold weather came, the street was just ready for resurfacing in the spring Cso said the bored street commissionerj. During the winter we didn't mind the bumps so much because it was consoling to remember that they couldn't possibly get worse in the future. VVhen the two or three different melt-ups came, several forlorn drivers were cheered to think that their cars could have sunk all the way in if he'd driven into Lake Moraine, while the top still showed after they had sunk into University Avenue. Now this troublesome street is all fixed. lt has been entirely resurfaced with mud. You can get over it in fine style now--in an airplane. But for automobiles it isn't so hot and if you don't believe it ask Mr. Wm. A. Reid, or Prof. Lawrence Appley-they know from experience. But however we all move that either the village put on a macadam top or else provide ferries. Now to be serious on this question of roads. The bad conditions of Univer- sity Avenue were due to the digging into quick sand and below the road base. If they had known how far down the base was they wouldn't have dug below it. To prevent conditions like this in the future, as a suggestion, it would be a good thing for the town to have the street commissioner keep an accurate record of when roads were built, by whom, their width. and the depth of the road base. r M.
