Only one or two men are holding
out against gravehng the block be-
tween Elm and Walnut streets,
which we can class as piece of
stuebornuess, or rather standing in
their own light The graveling of
the street adds at least 20 per
cent more to the looks of the street
and besides it makes travel better
and gives our street a clean looking
appearance. One months rent
from each building would pay for
the expense of graveling, and why
a property or house owner can get
consent to hold back we are at a
loss to know. Mr.. Ockauder gives
the work his attention, he under
stands how to grade and how to
place the gravel and if we let him
lleaye here before this work is done,
| it may be years before it is taken
up again mud we must then endure
the old time and holes in our main
street. We believe if we can get
the house owners to gravel the
street between Elm and Walnut
streets. that those owning property
between Vine and State Line will
come in and then Broad street can
present six blocks of well graveled
street. Let us get an 1899 move
on ourselves and when l9OOls ush-
cred in, we will truly be in a posi-
tion to blow our whistles aud the
noise will mean that we have some
thing to rejoice about.
