CAN WE AFFORD

CONCRETE ROADS!

Wayne County, Michigan, where

about thirty dollars per mile to main

twenty-eight miles Of concrete road and
some OF these roads have been built
seven years. his is more than has
been spent on Dixon Avenue and this
concrete road has been down five years.
On the piece OF road opposite the Elston
House at the South end of Bridge street
not one dollar has been spent and it has
been down seven years.
Now, what is the answer or the re-
minder OF The reply TO make to the
man who says we cannot afford con-
crete roads? The fact is, we can't
afford anything else. DO you know
what the upkeep of nine foot road,
such as is being built between Green

and look 1T it and see for yourself and
then Judge. Nobody has to be told that
in few, very few years this road will
have to be rebuilt and il is not the fault
of the commissioner, either 1t is the
fault Of the State of Michigan to allow
their money to be spent in this unbJsi-

our own assessors have continued to

Why Orchestras 'Tune-up'

Why" asked visitor to the theater
the other day, "do members OF the
orchestra always worry people possess

their Instruments"
II is all matter of thermometer ac-

i'm different parts Of the building is
different, and the instruments have to
be tuned in the temperature of the
place in which they are going to be
played AS rule, the air in the theatre
becomes warmer as the performance
progresses, and so the instruments have
to be tuned several times.
