PARK DRIVE CONNECTS
WITH KENNETH ROAD
Connecting Link Recently
Completed and Is Open
for Travel

The new stretch of road connecting
the park drive with the Kennett turn
pike is now open for travel, and fills
a much-needed want. The extended
road runs around by way of the Rock
ford water tower. And while it is ac-
ceptable in its present condition, there
is still room for improvement.
Drivers say the bed of the road at
the point in question is fiat and in case
Of a heavy rain would make driving
disaereeable, as the water, having no
means Of running Off the road, would
be allowed TO remain in puddles on the
surface of the drive. This defect. how
ever. may be remedied and while horse
owners are pleased because the con-
nection with the Kennett road has
been made, they hope TO see the drive
i'm first class condition at every point.

LIGHTS WANTED
OVER ELEVENTH STREET
Committee Will Make De
mand Before Street and
Sewer Commission

The people living beyond Eleventh
street bridge are greatly worked up be-
cause Of the neglect of the street and
Commissioners. Meetings have been
held IN the independence Fire Com
pany's house by the people IN that Sec
tion TO see what can be done TO bet
ter the condition Of that part Of the
city regarding the streets and lights.
At the last meeting "a committee COM
posed OF f. S. Bradley w G.. Smith
and William Paris was appointed. and
viii present the needs Of the COM
munity az the next meeting of the
Street and Sewer Commission.
Il has been learned there that the
commissioners propose placing 100 arc
lights In different portions of the city
during the next month. and the COM
mittee appointed win see what can be
done toward having some of the lights
installed over the bridge.
William c. Smith. proprietor Of the
Pullman Hotel. Is one OF the leaders in
the enterprise. IL is due TO Mr.. Smith
that the first electric light wires were
strung across the bridge. he having
had his hostlery connected with the
light plant at great expense. He has
been prominent factor in all im-
provements i'm the ward, and IN speak
ing of the situation TO an Evening
journal reporter this morning, said:
1T IS weil-lSnown fact here that
100 arc lights are to be installed I'm dit-
ferent parts Of the city. and we feel en-
titled to some of them.
Without doubt this is one of tho
poorest lighted sections of the whoi'
city. and added TO this the horrible con.
ldition OF our streets makes IL n danger
for women and children TO go about az
ter nightfall. 1t encourages men to do
things they would not dare TO do In
properly lighted thoroughfare, and is
detriment to the growth OF this sec
tion.
There is no doubt that here
where the greatest growth of the cit

necessary improvements TO keep J.

Samuel Floyd was cashier of the bank,
