Road Commissioner d. T. Perry
still has three weeks and three days In
which to complete the renovation of
Valley fair. There are no end of pes.
simists who stand on the curbstone and
prophesy that the snow will fall before
the commissioner completes his work
of devastation and rehabilitation. Then
there is an army of men who prophesy
dire things for the commissioner if he
does not get the street in shape for
the heavy traffic during the fair. Mr..
Perry makes no comments except to
tell his interrogators that they should
keep cool He intimates that he will
have the street in shape for use by the
time the fair traffic arrives. In view
of the fact that Commissioner Perry
began the work of demolition about the
entrance of the town hall building the
middle of June and then dropped it
until two weeks ago makes the pessi
mists somewhat doubtful about the
probable condition of Main street the
week of Sept. "a.
