they will put toll gates on Central
Avenue and close it to the general pub

it has been hard work for that seeocis-
iion TO raise enough funds to keep she
road in repair AND have it sprinkied so
sbst it would be a pleasant drive and
the toll gates will be placed on it for
the purpose OF securing a revenue from

hope SO secure an income sufficient to
pay the expenses OF keeping the road
uicsly sprinkled, free from dust and 10
good repair.
