For years there has besn more or
less talk regarding the necessity Of
new public drives in and about Canon
City. The extension Of Macon, Green
wood and Harrison avenues east %
as to connect with Fifteenth street,
would open up new avenues Of ap-
prosch to lands north Of the city and
afford pleasant drive without the
necessity of crossing the railroads at
any point in the drive.
