sides. and. 1t IL said, will bear fruit when
the spring elections come around. 1t is
conceded on all sides that the city must
have "up-to-date'' streets instead Of the

now used. If the population is to grow and
business increase. King street, 1t Is said,

the many strangers who annually. pass
through that htoroughfare en- route to Mt.
Vernon may see that the city has one good
street. IL no more. The suggestion of citi-
zens that some of the streets be macadam-
lied with the broken stone now in the
Jail yard has met with much favor.
