THE SPIRIT OF PROGRESS.

President Gundlach Of the North ST. Louis Busi-
ness Mems Association has appointed a committee
in each ward to advocate additional street improve
ments on the North Side. The merchants see the
advantages OF having good clean thoroughfares.
In the last three years about 100 miles of street
have been reconstructed in all parts of the city.
Every section looks better. The improvements have
transformed the appearance of the town and have
educated the public TO the benefits of good streets.
There is hardly district which is not urging con-
tnuation of progress.
The North ST. Louis Business Mems Association
exhibits the right sort of public spirit in promising
the administration support in keeping on with the
work. There should be no halt until every thor
oughfare has permanent pavement. Other asso-
Citations ought TO appoint committees in their wards
and maintain the enthusiasm which has aided so
much in making ST. Louis a handsomer and health
fer city The merchants of North St Louis have the
correct idea.
