SOUTH FRONT STREET
in HORRIBLE CONDITION

The wet weather Of this winter has
demonstrated that the east end Of
South Front Street cannot be put of
any longer from receiving attention
from the Town Council, and that il
must be graded from Carlisle Lane to
where the stone was placed on the road
near Fisher Avenue, a distance OF five
blocks. When this is done, 1t will be
necessary to either macadamize or i'm
prove the street in g more permanent
way. The curbing will have 10 be set
and the cement cutters run down al
most the entire distance on both sides
OF the street after the grading is COM
pIeted, so that the water can properly
run it's entire length. This will be q
costly jJb, and will take all the money
available for public work it will be
useless to put put other Improvements
up for consideration, il it is expected
to get this work done 10 1911 Possibly
some grade work might be dene in
other paris Of the town, but it will not
be likely that permanent street bed
improvement can be accomplished.
