The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1913-07-04

Are you in favor of immediate
How would it specially benefit Hone
PERRY A. CLARK says In favor
of pavement.
VIM. II. LEE-Yes. Assist in get
ting on the map.
j. b. NIELSEN believe a paved
Main street will be benefit to
Honesdale and l am highly in favor
of brick pavement.
o. NJ. SPETTIGUE-I have been
in business in Honesdale for 43
years and in that time there has been
money enough paid out on our
streets to pave nearly all our streets
and to-day our streets are disgrace
to our beautiful town. l am certain
ly in favor of pave.
Il. A. HOWELL, Cashier, says:
The immediate paving of all the
streets in Honesdale would probably
be too much of burden at the pres
ent time, but start should be made,
and Main street paved by all means.
A town is judged largely by three
factors, churches, schools and
streets, and while we are extremely
fortunate in having fine churches
and schools, there is room for the
improvements of our highways.
A. w. ABRAMS says: Yes, most
emphatically. We need it the worst
way for the good of everybody,
ROBERT A. FERBER says: If
Honesdale had been paved fifty years
ago it would be ten times as large as
it is to-day.
II. sCHWEAMEY-Yes. In every
way
WM. j. FERBER says: 1t will not
be a city until they pave Main street.
.R. MURRAY says: Being an ex-
member of the street committee of
the Town Council l realize that a
brick pavement is the only practical
solution of our street problem. 1t
appears to be either a case of mud
and expense or pave and expense,
and l will surely vote for pave.
EMANUEL FREEMAN says: Yes.
1t would take us out of ancient his
tory and put us on par with other
progressive towns and cities.
NJ. j. HANLAN says: 1 am in IA
vor of the immediate pavement of
I1OutSudlS oIlSCIo. llOhCOuolC ~
noted for it's beauty, but of late its
streets have been the object of con-
siderable unfavorable criticism. Main
street is certainly in very poor con-
dition and the prospect is that it will
remain so until paved. l believe
that from an economic standpoint
it is advisable to pave Main street.
Hundreds of dollars have been spent
on that thoroughfare without any
noticeable improvement. When the
streets are paved the expense OF
keeping them in good condition will
not be great.
MURRAY co. says: We believe
brick pavement will help to make
Honesdale a better town to live and
do business in and we are in favor
of anything that means a bigger and
better town.
w. B. HOLMES says: Pave, if the
| Street Railroad carry out their plans
to build the road and do their part
in paving. Not immediate"
w. b. LESHER says: am in ia.
vor of the immediate paving of Main
street and l intend to vote for it al
the election next week. 1t is move
| ment we'll worth the support OF every
property owner in Honesdale. There
has been too much expense connect
ed with keeping up mud" road
Let's have pave!
J. d. WESTON-Yes. In every
way.
r. ii. CRAGO says: am going tt
vote for pave this time. 1 voted
against it before but l am tired o.
mud for our principle street. IT.
disgrace to the town. If the taxe'
are raised, thereby, I am willing tt
pay the increase.
WM. 7. MOORE says: am in ia
vor of paving Main street and thinl
property owners should pay one
third of cost / consider our town fai
behind some other places in that re
spect Honesdale is one of the mos
beautiful places in the State.
