Tho roadmakers put in some time on Railroad street last week and since then several inquiries have come to our ears like this. "What did the roadmskers work Railroad street for?" and we have felt like making the Surveyors reply: ''For @ day." You can't blame the roadmakers. They get paid for their time, and if they had slighted Railroad street there would have been kick. But the road on Railroad street would have been less sandy and dusty. and probably in better condition if the road makers had been paid g. day and sent fsshing.
