Bad Sidewalk Causes A Kick

BAD SIDEWALK CAUSES A KICK

Residents out on Ashley street, near Felch, are kicking vigorously about a certain piece of sidewalk in front of a residence belonging to James E. Harkins. At the time of the recent flood a number of planks were washed out. Folks in the neighborhood complain that repairs were made in such a makeshift fashion that it is worse than no sidewalk at all. They say that when a passerby puts his foot on the damaged part two or three of planks promptly rise in a disparate attempt to bat him on the proboscis. 

"That sidewalk will be repaired just as soon as I get a man to attend to it," said Mr. Harkins to the Argus Tuesday. "I don't want to endanger anybody's life, but it's simply impossible at present to find anyone who can fix it up satisfactorily."
