The Bad. Street Problem

Athena, Ore, seems to have found
solution to the poor street problem.
says the Spokane Review. 1t ia a
problem that every small town has to
meet, or, rather, ought to meet; for.
if there is anything that makes town
unattractive or acts as handicap
upon its trade, it is bad thorough
fares.
There are many comm unities that
drift along, paying little attention to
the principal streets except to growl
when bad weather makes them impas-
slble. The thoroughfares are deem
dust in summer, with mud to the axles
In winter. The town feels that IT
cannot afford to indulge in any sort
OF paving, and year after year the
main trade arteries serve but poorly
to fulfill the purpose for which they
were intended.
In Athena, however, these coudi-
ton do not exist. The property
owners there have inaugurated work
on grading, guttering and putting
crushed rock on nine blocks of the
main business street and will make
It a hard, solid driveway that sheds
water like a roof and is in good con.
dltlon for traffic summer and winter.

direction Of the town, with no outlay
