The people of Newark are again COM
planning of the streets there. Sometime ago
they wanted the streets improved, and now
the Town Council. in order to improve them
have covered the streets with crushed stone.

stones used, are so large that it is dangerous
to ride over them on II wheel, and that il lhey
attempt it they either get punctured tire or
fall off ana are injured. The Town Council
will probably allow the streets to remain as
they are until the wagon travel over them
brushes the stones and makes the streets OF Il
character to suit the wheelm9n. That appears
to be the easiest way out of the difficulty.
