MORE STREETS

Might be Paved with Brick taken mp
to Make Place for Street Car
tracks.
There is some question 40 to the
ownership OF the brick which has
been taken up where the street car
tracks go through paved streets
The trolley company has to pave
between tracks on unpaved streets.
1t is asserted by ,me that the brick
already laid belongs to the town and
may be used elsewhere while the
company must pay for new paving
to replace it. Some people claim
that the brick taken up is to be re-
placed by the company sc. nc com
rensation given the town. II the
brick taken up are placed ON unpav
ed street a great deal OF paving will
be added to that already here. The
town should look into this matter
and insist on having the brick.

maps, which are printed in three
colors, show all roads, railroads.
