‘through the recent rain
rm that we had last
sections that gave Street
Commissioner Socky

trouble were Shoemaker

McHale, and the corner of
Church and Dana Sts. and
Slocum and Church, near
the Hose House on Slocum
St., Green St., White and

that we did get melted
during the rest of the day.
We were prepared,-
