The paving of Walnut street, from
the Bank corne to the new union pas
senger station, should not be delayed.

before it will m~aterialize. The ques-
ton, therefore, is who will be the first
to move for a franchise and organize
the ''Goldsboro Electric Street Rail-
way Company"
With the union passenger station
rapidly assuming demarked and i'm
posing proportions at the west end OF
Walnut street, is it not opportune for
our ''City Fathers to begin to discuss
the foregone conclusion and get ready
for the paving OF Walnut street, west
from the bank corner tc the union sta
ton? Let's begin in time.
