To the DEMOCRAT: - The citizens and public in general
wonders why the city authorities allow the frog pond to remain at the corner and
along Coleman street and the Central railway. This is a nuisance and a menace to
the health of the public, and it seems that some steps should be taken to have
same removed. AN OBSERVER.

will pay a good price for the same. Yours very truly,
