evening prelude.
Miss Crossen had been previously
requested to give several child sketches

EVERY TAX PAYER INTERESTED
Sidewalk TO the Cemetery Much Needed
Improvement

Next Monday. August Z, the citi-
zens of Alma will be given the oppor-
tunity of voting for or against a bond
issue of $4,000. The money to be
used for the following purposes {:
Erecting a bridge across Pine River
at State street, building a sidewalk
to the cemetery, and opening Pros
pect street from Superior street to
the city park.
The bridge crossing the river at
the dam has been condemned for
some time and is closed to travel
This is the most important highway
leading into the city from the south
and the present structure should be
supplanted with bridge of suffi-
cient solidity and size to care for the
large volume OF traffic using it daily
The walk to the cemetery is much
desired Improvement and the Record
believes this project meets with the
endorsement OF our citizens gener-
ally; while the question of which side
of the street the walk should be built
has not been considered by the Coun
Gil in executive session. yet it is as
serted by those who have given the
matter consideration that the walk
should be built on the west side OF
the street thus permitting one to
walk to the cemetery without cross
ing the street and encounter teams
and automobiles which are constant
ly using the thoroughfare. With the
walk on the west side OF the street
thc stone wall would be continued
along the river front and the walk
laid along the side OF the wall, a sub
.tantial railing being built on the
river side of the walk The question
Of where the walk will be laid has
been deferred by the Council until
he money is voted.
