TOWN LOOKED AHEAD
Prize Virginia Community VIII Avoid
Tearing Up Streets.

A piece OF unparalleled foresight is
being exhibited by the town of SCOTS
willie, on the James River, in Abe
marie County. The fathers of that
community have actually looked far
enough ahead to lay water mains in
the streets in advance of the time they
are needed, to prevent tearing up the
thoroughfares after they are perma-
nently improved. DIR. Roy X Flanna-
gan, inspector of the State Health De-
partment, is authority for this as
founding piece of information, and he
adds that such action could we'll be
emulated by other towns in the State
which have been forced to undo such
work on which they spent money, in
making other improvements
Scottsville, which has n liquor dis
pensary that pays all town expenses
and relieves the citizens of taxes, had
decided to build permanent streets. 1t
was realized, however, that in few
years IL must install n modern water
system, which would require tearing
up the highways. 1t has not the money
TO do it all at once. so it was decided
that the mains shall be laid before the
streets are built, so that later il will
not be necessary to undo everything.
