In my opinion the growth Of this city dc
! | ponds upon the proportion of street I'm
i provernents, and believe the investment
y Tor the city TO make to have paying return
is to increase its expenditures on streets
even ii other expenditures should be cur
tailed for a lew years.
Last year | and other friends built OF
one square alone ten good brick houses
= and in order TO have them occupied by de
! sirable tenants We had to advance none
i TO this city to have curbstone and gutter
inc put down before our sidewalks coul'
| be laid.
am building in like manner in othe
