WANT GRADING DONE
CITIZENS ASK IMPROVEMENT OF
 COURT STREET.
Residents Beyond City Limits Urge That Vast Development Would
 Result from Half Mile of Gradfng.

Headed by Fred S. Ball, q number of citizens residing and owning property in the vicinity of the extensions of South Court and South Perry Streets. appeared before the Board of Revenue in regular weekly session yesterday asking that the County grade and gravel South Court Street from the city limits to Norton Street and thence on Norton Street from Court Street to Cleveland Avenue, Q distance of a lit. tie more than half a mile.
 Mir. Ball talked at length before the Board urging the improvement on the ground of the vast development in would result from the improvement. He thought the total cost would be about $2,0oo or $2,5o0.
 Other citizens accompanying Mr. Ball, were Captain W. D. Westcott, Arthur Pelzer, H. c. Davidson, David Fleming, w. B. Fleming, McD. Cain, Ed. Watts and F. W. Crump.
 W. H. Lawson the Pike Road mem- Der of the Board. took the view that roads should not be- improved for the development of property. It seemed to him that the primary purpose for building roads was to accommodate public travel.
