Now, sand Is nothing but pulverized

rough corners and edges have been

Lynchburg can be reached will be .
help in drawing the members to-

thus far. It would appear to be the
natural thing to do to consider the
value OF streets, regardless OF the sites
that are contiguous thereto. In every
community there Is more knowledge
about the usefulness of streets than
there Is about particular sites. Az In
the illustration OF the twenty persons,
most people in community have
very well defined notions or opinions
OF the relative usefulness of the streets
that make up their town. The vari-
ations Of opinion among them when
all OF tho streets are considered will
be found In the last analysis to be of
veyr narrow range--so narrow, In
fact, that those differences may easily
and satisfactorily be compromised and
adjusted.
The value OF anything Is dependent

speak Of market value. as Of the mar
ket value Of wheat. as 1t Is OF the
value Of land In cities, which has no
market value. When we arc to at

cities we ought to attempt to obtain

opinion OF the value Of specific plots

The one with the greatest accessibility
to the street will be worth more than
the one with less accessibility. But
whatever the value Is, It may be trace

street.
