Our Village Stree IS.
Never Have Our Streets Been In Such Deplor
able Condition

Never Have Our Streets Been In Such Depor-
able Condition.
During the past two weeks the main
streets of our otherwise beautiful little
village, have been perfect sea OF mud.
OF course there is some excuse for their
condition at the present time, but when
we compare our streets with those of our
sister villages we find that the compari-
son is very uufavorable for our streets.
Until about two years ago our streets
were acknowledged to be better than
those in any town around here, but in
stead of improving they have grown
worse until in their present condition
they are almost impossible. However
It does no good TO sit IDLY by and COM
ment on their condition; what is needed
is some definite action in regard TO their
improvement There have been several
plans suggested by our business men,
during the past week whereby this inn
provement might be accomplished, and
all seem to be quite feasible. Some are
Of the opinion that gravel should be
secured and placed on the streets; others
that crushed stone should be used. while
some think that it would be cheaper and
better in the end if Superior was
paved for about three blocks with paw
ing brick and the other streets graveled
Whether or no we are able to expend
the amount of money necessary to salts
factorily do this can be judged by com
pairing our bonded indebtedness with
that of st. Louis and Ithaca:
thaca's Indebtedness .... ........ $50 600
| II Louis -" ............... ..... II OOl
Alma's ........ 40OO
st. Louis owes about $1,000 more
than Alma, while Ithaca's indebtedness
is s26 900 more than ours. Surely we can
afford TO do something with our streets.
Ten thousand dollars might well be ex-
pended during the next year for i'm
provements which would be of lasting
benefit Let US be up and doing aud If
possible by another fall have our streets
in condition whereby it will not be
necessary to use boats in order to navi-
gate the main street Of our village.
Some of the members Of the Business
Mems Association have already written
the headquarters of the two railroad
companies TO secure rates on gravel anc
also to different contractors i'll regard tC
the cost of paving with brick, and II
figures are received before next week 5
ssue we will publish them.
