GENERAL IMPROVEMENTS
Lamar's Main Street viii Be Made
the Handsomest of Any Small
City in Colorado

The owners Of property facing on
Main street in blocks 20 and "a are
planning some big improvements for
the coming season which will make
the business section of Lamar far out
shine any equal area in any small
city in the country. The work will
begin in very short time and will
be pushed as rapidly as possible
so the tourists this summer and fall
can have an opportunity to get first
class view of the livest burg outdoors.
The awnings on both sides of the
street will be taken down and replaced
by an arcade of similar style to the
one now covering the sidewalk in block
80, but before this is done a lot Of
other work will be undertaken.
A number of the merchants and
owners Of buildings have announced
their intention to take out the fronts
of their buildings and replace them
with more modern construction. AT
least a half dozen new fronts will be
constructed on each side of the street
and when completed there will be
nothing to match it in any city IN
der ten thousand population in the
country.
When completed Lamar will have a
great white way Of her own that will
bear comparison with any place.
