What is to be done about repairing our sidewalks?

We have referred to this matter quite as often as it is pleasant for us to do so, but so far there seems to be no movement made by the street commissioner or anybody else toward repairing the old walks or making new ones. What is the reason? We are not the only person that complains about this neglect on the part of our corporation officers. There is no use nor sense in further delay in this matter.
