Locust street down to and across
brown street aud will have to pave
between It's tracks and for two feet
on each side after leaving Brown
street. The street committee csti-
mated that it would cost the own
only about $1,000 To have the entire
street paved under the arrangements.
The town council for It's last time

made more thrilling and picturesque
by the ripping "red, white and blue"
of "Old Glory"
