count the six schools that come within two
blocks of the line, we have within a slight

Better Roads Needed
Mr.. Lindeke, president of the Business

that he was ready and willing to become a
member of the union. He said they couldn't
expect the city in general to take particular
care of any particular district or part of the

sity OF improvements at Dale and Como ave-

should see that the roads leading INTO this
section received as much attention as those
leading into any other part of the city,

what Mr. Lindeke had said.

roads were not IN proper condition, but
claimed the fault was not due to the mem

money to spend. Next year they would have
$1,000, but there shouldn't be less than S40,-
600 until the roads were placed in proper
condition. and then it would be easy to keep
them that way.
