MI. Pope and his force Of men
engaged for a month or more a
laying granolithic walk for the towr
council and private citizens O.
Monterey, finished just in time tc
reach their home at Franklin before
the change to real bad weather
came. The last of the walk put
down, however, came, to grief
more Or less severe, tie extent vi
the damage not being fully known
to the uninitiated.
We refer 70 a section put down
along the Mercantile store front
and at the Methodist church. which,
caught in its green state by the
freeze, crumbled and peeled until,
to- say the least, it is unsightly.
This, kowever, affords a lesson
by which the town may profit in
the future, and such work will be
done before danger of freezing
comes.
Taken as a whole the work is
something of which the town may
be Justly pround and the council
deserves praise for undertaking and
successfully carrying to completion
this extensive, permanent work.
1t is Just such enterprise and pro-
gressive spirit that has put Monte
rey ahead of it's class and made of
it one of the most up-to-date vii
Iages of Virginia.
BY dint of good management and
the willing spirit of those whose
property was directly touched and
improved, this long stretch of pave
ment has been placed this
season, and without any increase
ID taxation.
1t goes without saying that, in
iris extensive work, requirining
large expenditure of public and pri-
vate funds. the council duly ap.
prcciates the cooperation and APP
proval of the citizens, without
which public Improvements drag
and fail. We have heard no undue
objection on the part Of any prop
ert y-owners or taxpayers. although
some of them were pretty heavily
assessed, all of which goes to prove
that the people of the town, gen.
erally speaking, are progressive
anil enterprising and will stand by
the City Fathers in what they may
Undertake along lines calculated to

there was no doubt about the great
things he had done for Borrovina. but
feared it was going just a step too far
in permitting Il foreigner to become
