MEssRs. EDIToRs-It is not often that l am heard
grumblng or complaining about private affairs, let
alone public ones; yet the condition in which our
City Council have suffered our sidewalks and streets
TO remain for the past few months is enough to tire
the patience of Job himself


Although indianapolis is not as large some cities
in the west, yet it is large and opuent enough to keep
the walks and streets in such condition that its in
habitants can walk square two without getting
shoe tops in mud There at the present time
in this city, places which almost impassabe on
Of the mud and filth which them. There
is one place. where, TO my own knowledge, (between
MIkiels and the western market house,) ladies and
children have been compelled to 90 a square out of
their way in consequence of the mud which covered
II. For three four years. this place has been
ploughed and dug up, and then suffered to remain
over winter IN a worse condition than before; which,
If left nature had made IT, would lave been inf
nely better. This is but one among many which
could name, and although do not wish to be harsh
impudent, yet, when pay tax in proportion
to the rest of the city, have the right
ceive an equal proportion of work. All | wish is,
that all should be treated alike all receive the
benefit, and theE hope all will be satisfied


Messrs Editors, by publishing the above few lines,
much oblige me, and at the same time hope, do
much pro bono pubiico. VIRGINIA.
