Additional Banking
Facilities For Le8sbuIl
Rapid Growth Shows Need Of New Bank.

Among other indications of the
rapid growth Of Leeshurg is the fact
that there is need here for addi-
tional banking facilities. Another
bank here, it is claimed by many
good business men, could do excel
lent business.
Though there isalready one good,
prosperous bank here, the Bank Of
Leesburg, a member Of the widely
known Witham system, there is
much banking business that could
be secured by an additional bank.
Tt is hoped that with the rapidly
growing business in Leesburg anoth
er good bank will be established
here by the opening of the new
year.

LesshuIg is To Have
Paved Sidewalks Soon
Cornell H.. Passed % the Matter Fsvorably

Favorable action by the city
council at a recent meeting calls for
tile paving OF the principal side
walks Of the city. The area 10 be
paved will, Of course, include only
the main area of business and resi-
dence. but this will add much to
the appearance as well as to the
growth and progressiveness OF Lees
burg, which is experiencing the
most lively development period H.
its Iii tory, notwithstanding the faci
that the summer has been cons
dered dull in1nost places.
1t is understood that with the
property holders who are most Vi
tually concerned by the ordinance
the matter of paving the sidewalks
meets with favorable considerat.o .
This being true, the work Of carry
ing out the paving ordinance should
be greatly facilitated. The great
convenience 20 be afforded by thu
paving willnlake it well worth while
for the property holders to spen'
the money Necessary, which will a
the same time greatly enhance tht
value Of the property. It Is eN
pected that the material to lie u<ee
for the paving will be considered
as soon as possible, so that the worl
MAJ be taken up at the earliest pos
sible time.
