The undersigned would like tn have
sonboddy show him what for we want
to put pavements on streets what it
can rain cats an dogs on fer three
weeks an then they're SO smooth an
hard an dry two hours after it fairs up
that they have to start the street
sprinkler, an put holdbacks on the
hosses to keep th drays- frum runnin
over EN- on level ground. What for
do we want to pave streets what is so
hard an smooth materially that wood
pecker-what kin drill hole in six
kimore tree without turnin hair
would have to have his bill case
hardened over evry fifteen minutes if
he was goin tu dig fer grub worms in
em. Course draymen an other fellers

EN- around on our streets an make a
livin with em hes got little kick
comm because the streets is sinrally
SO cussed hard a hoss'll wear out pair
av shoes in about three day but then
that makes more work fer tn black
smiths which evens things up little.
Course we have little dust when
4 the wind blows but we'd have that any
how pawn or no pawn an the good.
