Walter T. Stewart, Ernest D. Holeman
and a number of young men, owing
to the pressing necessity of the oc-
casion, have taken it upon them
selves, on behalf of the bicycle riders
of Mount Holly, to repair the path lead
ing to Burlington before it's destruction is
complete. The work began yesterday.
The weeds are to be cut, the path
widened and filled in with good gravel
and rolled, and the breaks repaired. OF
course this costs money, and as the under
taking seems to be any body's business,
these young men have started in with
full assurance that the wheelmen will
show their substantial appreciation by
subscribing enough money promptly to
cover the cost. THE News, Mirror, Herald
and Democrat have been authorized to
receive all donations which riders may
wish to cont ribute.
