 The trouble is that l have got to pay more than $500 for the pavement in front of my house on North Cen
 tral avenue. It comes in easy pay ments however and if l care any
 thing at all l ought to earn enough
 to pay out on it without straining myself muchh.
 But, everybody in town is us ing my little piece of paving to drive their horse or their auto or their farm wagon over. It's good smooth riding across MY pavement and I recognize many "kickers," calmly speeding over my domain They are not meeting any of my payments. l have to meet them all alone. Yet-here they are, from ev cry part of the city-wearing the interest off of my investment, while many of them. a great many are . fighting the progressive ones who are trying to place a similar invest ment on their own part of the city. This is MY Snvestment out here on North Central avenue and, MT. knocker, I wish you would cavort around on your own bumpy. muddy community. Keep in the neighbor- hood you strive to keep down. still don't know-I nave recent ly moved here from one of the mud dy Dumpy districts of the town and it is really a pleasure to sit out in front and watch the automobiles and i other conVeyances pass by. The | loads of eXhilarative, relaxative, all that sort of thing, laugh and chat ter, fluttering ribbons everybody out for an airing. It makes me content , to let them ride to let them enjoy themselVes-indeed,N to sit in my house by the side of the road and be friend to man."
 l was going to fence in my pave ment and put a gate at each end Of It, but l am not going to do it now. l am going to let the Knockers, those who won't make the paving in vestment nor allow any one else to i make it, enjoy my investment I am going to be broad and mag unanimous and permit them to enjoy 1 themselves-they have no opportunity i in their own neighborhood. When the paving on North Central wears out, which it won't do for a long time. because it is not a cheap in fer1or pavement, We will build it all over again and every body in town will be permitted to ride over it to their hearts content
 or course, we understand out here that the traffic is heavier than on any other tnoroughfare in the city, oWil.5 to the long stretch of smooth pavement, yet we cannot object, in asmuch as it gives us lot of almost free advertising. It gives our places prominence, everybody sees them and of course we might want to sell them some time. Of course, we would be unable to sell readily if only a few people had seen them, so the more people that see them the greater our chanc of selling. We have that advantage over those who live in un- paved districts, of course
 Therefore, don't feel that you are encroaching, don't feel that you are taking advantage of us, or anything like that. Do not feel that you are receiving the benefits and advant- ages that are always to be divided from real progressiveness. Don't feel that you are getting the interest from some other mans investment Just keep on enjoying yourselves, have good time and when we begin to feel that We have too much traf- He on our street, we will do the thing that we know we always CAN do: SELL OUR PROPERTY and help pave some other street Come on over, the gliding is good-there is no dust-no wear on your car and it don't cost a cent
