the interim of the rush Of registra-
ton found time for some important
civic duties They extended Florence
street to Reynolds avenue, est fences
back and graded Pear street, and In
utter disregard for the meets and
bounds of the growing city OF East
Canon, opened, graded and ,sanded
Cherry street from Orchard avenue %
Dozizer avenue with visions still to
the eastward.
Oh, no, the work is not quite COM
pleted yet, bU1 these architects OF
civic improvement have it in the
blue print" and all that 10 lacking
is the consent and cooperation Of The
property owners and the town ON
cials, all of which is NO doubt but .
matter Of time.
But really now, isn't 1t apparent
that East Canon needs at least one
street into the city north Of the D. z
r. G. tracks, and now that the double
track is soon to be in, the demand 10
being agitated the more. Could not
Canon City and East Canon cooper
ate and grade Franklin avenue and ex-
tend some street on the the eastward?
It's worth while to think on these
things.
