New York, 1895

To the Editor of the Long Island Farmer:

DEAR SIR — Permit me to forward you my complaint. It is for the benefit of the people of our town in general. I wish to complain of the very disgraceful condition of the sidewalks on New York avenue, in wet and snowy weather. There is a pretence of old boards that are loose and rotten, and when one passes over them, the water flies up and spoils more clothes than if the boards were not there.

As this is one of our principal streets, where many strangers pass to and from the trains, they immediately get the idea, what a dirty place Jamaica is. In this respect they are right. But we could have clean and dry sidewalks. Other streets have been seen to by our board of Trustees, but this one has been overlooked. Has some one on this street a "Pull?"

— A TRAVELLER AND TAX PAYER.
