Good streets are as much the result
of knowledge as of cost. Knowing how
to build good roads and streets is
equally as important as having the
price to build with For that reason
the Herald insists that an experiment
nj block would be a good educator. II
you can once demonstrate that good
streets can be built at a reasonable
cost the rest of the work will be
easy. One citizen, whose head is
usually pretty level says if the city
or county. either, will haul the gravel
here on the railroads that the citizens
will pay the cost of putting it on the
streets. We believe they would. If
the city, for instance, would buy sew
eral car loads of the famous white
gravel uSsd for streets in many cities
and put it on the ground, offering it to
people for use on the streets. it is a
sure thing that many blocks would be
organized and the gravel put down.
