INDEPENDENCE
Cause RnytOwn Trade to Come in
on south Main Street.

From developments yesterday. the action
of the city council in passing a resolution
TO macadamize and grade South holland
street from Alton aveHue to the city linn
its is for no other purpose than connect
ing with q road from the Raytown boule-
ward to Independence. According to the
plan unfolded yesterday. the road to Ray
town will run south to Elm park and then
cross to the old Raytown road through
the Sewell property. This plan would
cause trade from Raytown to be brought
in on South Main street, instead of over
Lexington street and by the Alton depot.
II also indicates that the Milton Welsh
road will be macadamized through to the
Little BLU bridge, where II will intercept
the old Lees Summit road. This plan. IL
carried out. would leave a number of prop
erty owners who i've along the Lees Sum
NIT road south of the Raytown connection
without = macadamiZed road. II was stated
yesterday that. with the exception of one
or two hills, the route to Lees Summit
by the Milton Welsh road was the best
grade. less undulating and would accom-
modate more people.
