cially on the intersections, and
others objected to the size of
the bill they will be required to
pay. We all object to the size
of the bill, but if we are TO have
all these improvements, we must
pay for them. AS soon as the
assessments are paid we will have
forgotten the COST and spend the
rest of our days enjoying che lux
urics of living in a clean moral
town With many blocks of paved
streets, excellent churches and
fine schools, a town to which we
can point with pride when we are
away from home and not be
ashamed to say we are from Mis-
souri, Valley. All public inn
provements cost money and lots
of it, and while it may work a
hardship for a time, the end is
worth the means. For many
years we wallowcd around in the
mud here and thought we could
not pave because we were too
poor. but aftc+ the first paving
was laid, nearly all the other
streets wanted the same kind of
Improvement and it has but
started. A few years from now
we predict nearly all the streets
in the corporate limits will be
paved and The people more pros
porous and happy than they have
ever been before.

ordinances against cats. and in Massa-
