struction OF parts OF the cities, bringing
into existence what might be called civic

Beyond these matters, which nave
practically local influence only, there are
four great public improvements which are
the principal forces in bringing about
what. 1t is believed, will be the greatest
period OF growth that the county has
ever experienced.

lowland.
Once before, therefore, this Newbold

down South it has become almost fanatically
