The street committee has been rounding off the corners of the streets, where they jutted out at the irregular angles along the main street and have' this week taken off those at Dartliff's corner. No doubt this leaves much more room for driv- ers of vehicles but these points, un- til one becomes accustomed to them, have a very chopped -off appearance. Time works many changes. When the' present cement walks were 'put downy' about the beginning of the Present century, at all the cross streets, where an angle appeared, the walk e were extended out to form o graceful, rounded point. This made for a shottdr crossing and until cars become 'so plentiful they were not found to inteilere With traffic at all. But now we 'must give the traffic, plenty of room, so off- come the points, and those on foot must achieve the longer crossing as best they may, with'an -eye looking:, both ways to avoid getting, caught under a wheel.
