'DRAGGING" BENEFICIAL TO
STREETS OF MOSCOW

suitable time to drag the streets is
shortly after a rain.
| Not only is Moscow interested in
her Improvement along this line, but
we are attracting attention on the out
side by people interested in the In
land Empire, as is shown by the COM
munication lately received from Frank
! w. Guilbert, vice-president and sec
retary of the Spokane Good Roads as
sociation, which reads:
Spokane, Wn., April 7, 1913
Mr.. c. B. Green,
President Chamber of Commerce,
Moscow, Idaho.
Dear Mr.. Green: l notice from a
press clipping that you will undertake
TO drag certain Of your graded streets
which are not paved, and | want to
congratulate you upon your enter
prise.
You will find that those streets
which are carefully dragged after
each rain, just as they begin to dry
out, will receive much benefit. About
la year ago | demonstrated the effic-
iencyl Of the split log drag to our
city commissioners for just the pur-
pose you are contemplating using that
for. The result was that they i'm
mediately ordered six of them, and
have been using them to advantage ev-
er since.
Very truly yours,
FRANK w. GUILBERT.
