We are glad to know that the
building of walks is approved of
by at least SO per cent of the
people of Baxter Springs. We
have always contended that if a
movement was once started along
this line the people would not only
approve it but keep it ND. AS
proof of this we desire to offer in
evidence the numerous Sidewalk
petitions which have been.present-
ed to the council, and the further
fact that more petitions are being
circulated.
