Many improvements we're made
last year. The congested conditions
at Hull and Railroad streets were
remedied early In the year by the
widening Of this thoroughfare. Sew
enth street has also been widened
considerably. while alleys have been
made. Smooth paving has been put
on Porter street from Fourteenth to
Cowardin avenue.
A prominent South Rfchmonder

these great improvements were made
possible by the consolidation Of Rich
mond and Manchester. He declared
that the most optimistic advocate of
annexation could hardly have pre-
dieted the benefits derived from the
merger. He said that Richmond had
not only fulfilled every obligation. but
had done even more.

You will also discover dandruff is gone and hair has stopped falling.
