REPORT OF THE COMMIT
TEE ON STREETS AND
PUBLIC WORKS

To the Hon. Mayor and Com
missioners Of Southern Pines.
Agreeable to a vote of this
Board taken on the 18th of this
month requesting this Commit
tea to ext mine the Streets, and
report what r. pairs, if any, were
needed, we would respectfully
report that a careful investiga-
ton has been made, and we find
that the streets which are in the
center of the village and mostly
used, are in very fair condition
but can be somewhat improved.
In many places a small amount
of labor will accomplish the
work. We estimate that the
sum of one hundred and fifty
dollars can be judiciously used,
and we recommend that this
sum be provided and that the
committee proceed to accom-
plish the work as soon as prac-
ticable.

For Christ our Lord is risen,

And now reigns in Heaven.

Christ robbed the grave of victory
And took away death S sting.

For His kindness and His power.
