Property owners yesterday after
noon discussed the question of i'm
proving Fourth street. Many said
they cannot see why South Fourth
street should be improved because
the traffic on that street is light when
considered in connection with other
streets.
Take the turnpike or Delaware
street extended" said a property
owner. 'and see the difference. Auto
mobiles go and come over that street
coming into or going out of the city.
The idea of paving Fourth street is
all right but how about Sixth street?
Why not open that street at once.
Build bridge so the men can get to
the three steel plants. BY actual
count 1877 men use the Delaware
street way to Sixth every day and
II is wrong to ask them to walk a
mile out of their way. Delaware
street ought to be paved as soon as
Fourth street. II is time to remove
the pest breeding places west of Sew
enth street. Mrs. Salisbury agreed
to curb and pave along her property
II the other property owners would
do the same on the opposite side OF
the street, but we must wait"
