Buy II Now,

We have = new council and new
mayor, The latter we know Is In favor
Of the city investing In rock crusher,
and We are certain portion, II not all
OF the council is. Therefor, we would
suggest they get the movement under
way at an early date. The sooner We
get this necessary piece of machinery
the sooner We will have better streets.
Both the mayor and street commissioner
are men capable of purchasing machin.
cry intelligently and there need be no
fear of the city losing anything by hay
Ing imprscticable or poor machinery
palmed off on 1t.
To our mind, its purchase will also
mean the solution Of the sidewalk pro-
blem. Crushed stone surfaced with
gravel makes very desirable walk and
one that can be put down cheaply. The
city can furnish this at actual cost and
in that way keep the buns occupied or
away from town, either OF which Is TO
be desired
Buy 1t now. The city Is In good shape
financially.
