The cycle path between this town and /,
diddletown is in very bad condition and is fl
great need of some repairs. As this path q
continually in use by both bicyclers and
eGestrians our citizens think it shame
let it remain in its present condition.
: little money would put it in good con.
ition again and if cyclers, pedestrians s
nd the farmers living on the road between Il
ne two towns would hand in small sum n
ach to repair it it would be blessing.
ir. Charles H. Workman, the bicycle
ealer of our town, has taken the matter
! hand and will receive all subscriptions
'wards repairing the same, and he is also
lillng to devote his own time in seeing
lat the work is done properly. 4
