CATTLE ESTRAY. Mr. George Rutherford visited Priceville last Saturday on Insurance busmess. 3 In your issue of Aug. 16th a letter refer- .ring to sidewalk repairs on back streets, I municipal grant, etc., appeared. Since that itime we have heard quite an amount of icriticism on the said commucication. and the pathmasters claim that they could do :nothing else than what they did as they were situated. As we are not persionally interested in this matter, having neither had sidewalks built nor reads gravelled for our own benefit, we should like very much tor the public benefit and information, to see some explanation of the situation given by some of the pathmasters as from what we have. they. or one of them at least, thinks he was hit too hard. However, let it be as it may we must agree with “Fair Play” to this extent that some of the front Street sidewalks are in any thing but a safe condi- tion. If some unfortunate individual should break a leg or arm through falling amongst these ruins, it may possibly result in an- other law suit for damages, of which this township has had enoughin the past. Some new planks well nailed down in the most dangerous places would come cheaper in the long run than paying law costs etc. Mr. Jas., Watson, who has been visiting here tor some time. left for his home in (Jheboygan, Mich, last Thursday, taking in the Toronto Exhibition on the way.
