JORDAN is CONSIDERED
HARD ROAD TO TRAVEL.
Suggestions for The Improvement
of Streets

PATIENTLY Tor information IN regard
to grazing Jordan street. Since
writing TO you short time ago, the
town authorities have spent several
hours cutting grass Oh it'll expected
to see them save the crop, but sup
pose the hard rains during w. & L.
u. commencement rendered the hay
unfit for market. Leaving this hay
scattered over the street gives it
rather delapidated appearance. |
would like very much to let ny COW
do some grazing, but do not like to
do So until have been correctly in
formed as to the law on the subject.
If you will give this matter your
immediate consideration you will
confer a great favor.
Times are dull now. All the ex-
citing things have gone glimmering
away in the past. President
Taft has signed the railroad
bill and refused to sign the state
hood bill. Teddy has returned
with his dead. giraffes and rhinoceri,
the Lexington post master affair has
been practically settled and the V.
NJ I. final ball has passed off cover
ing the school with much glory.
There is, therefore, no reason why
you should not pest yourself on
town laws and give us some informa-
ton about Jordan street and the
right to Craze the same,
l., upon investigation, you find
that this would not be practicable,
you should develop a little energy
and have Jordan made good road
to travel, by either macademizing it
or embellishing it with a wers and
shrubbery. This latter could be
done without much cost and If two
automatic gates were erected, one at
Wits corner and the other al
Heck's, the COWS could be kept out
and our friend Frank could Craze
his Jersey in his back yard. II this
street could be beautified as | have
suggested, the Presbyterians would
be able to sell some OF the desirable
lots opposite my property and we
have every reason to believe thai
some fine houses would be erected.
Every town should have at least one
model street, and few thousand o
the recent appropriation expended
on Jordan would make it blossom
like rose. We love flowers anC
they give the town such bucoi'
appearance.
/ took great pains in breaking VI
some strips of sod in front of m!
house on Main street, but during
the w. & l.. u. terpsichorean eXet
cises. the liverymen insisted on driv
ing over the beds had preparet
for flowers and fear the land ha
been so trampled up that will hav
to abandon the idea Of growin
flowers there and turn my attentio
to the garage, Notwithstanding tn
stringent laws passed by our repre-
sentative against the business.
looks like our Legislature dares
man Of moderate means to go int
the gararge business. l don
know why unless they cor
slider it like the liquor business
disreputable- and desire to tax tn
small man out of existance and Civ
the monopoly to the big man.
If cannot Craze Jordan and a.
not able to pay the taxes and operat
agararge-I have about made up N
mind to turn my attention to grow
ing pears for the market and sc
them in berry baskets. My friend
are selling peaches this way and
looks to me like there is money
small packages. L will have at lea
1000 bushel or 80, 900 quarts. The
sold at 10 cents would bring n
$1,000. which would not be so bi
for five acres of trees. JAKE.
