The reason why 30 many small
towns fail to grow is because their
citizens do nothing to promote the
growth. There in no public spirit
and therefore no attempt is made to
attract industries or improve condi-

calculated to develop things he is
called visionary and loud cry is al
so made that improvement means tx

not understand why the census re-
