A Suggestion For
Better City Roads

Now that We have our streets grad.
I'D, would II not be beneficial to drag
them regularity This takes money,
but it pays to keep them dragged. II
the Commercial Club Of our city, or
the City Council would buy about a
dozen light drags and distribute them
over the town, would not the owners
Of automobiles hitch them to their
oars, after rains, and drive over the
streets. These drags could be left al
certain places and owners of cars could
take their turn at using them over Ger
tain districts. The cutting of weeds
and dragging Of our streets is a great
help to the appearance OF town. l.
this suggestion worth investigating?

the Department OF Commerce, Bureau

is to secure accurate data regarding
the states income, and expenditures
