A noticeable Improvement has been
made in the street in front of the
Kruger & Warner Co. s store on Vine
street. A drain pipe has Eeen laid
under the crossing next to the curb

hole that has been an eye sore for
so long is no more. Saturday the
| street department on the east side
| filled this long standing nuisance up
with crushed granite and sand. If
there is one thing this city needs
more than another to bring it up to
| its proper place among its sister CT
| ties, that thing is good streets. The
business streets of little Ripon with
only half our population are paved

of Grand Rapids to see that an effort
is being made to improve our streets.
