CITY COUNCIL CONSIDERS
IMPROVEMENT OF AVENUE


RIVERSIDE, April S.-The city coun--
Gil is considering the Improvement or
Cotton avenue, the most USED Inlet OF
the entire city, by macadamizing it.
The council is spurred on in this action
by the fact that the San Bernardino
county bond issue proposes to improve
the same street to the county line,
which is but short way from the city
line. The street is the main route of
travel between Cotton and San Bernar-
dino and this city.
