Is Taken by the Epidemic Of
InfantiIe Paralysis in City

NEW YORK, Aug. 14-The epl-
demic of infantile paralysis took a
turn for the better Monday. The

health department went under the
hundred mark for the first time in
several weeks. During the twenty

Mr.. CraddoCk Becomes a Bit
"RiIed" over Remarks
about a Street There.
(By Joe n. CraddOck, MayOr.)

The editorial criticism in Sunday
Exponent of the town Of Broad Oaks,
was very unjust. 1t is true we have
some streets in bad condition, but the
town is doing everything in its power
to better the conditions. Last year We
spent $4,000 in street paving, having
bonded the town to the limit to do so,
and as a consequence, so far as we
have gone, we have the best paved
streets in EsrrIson county. Within
the next two weeks notices Of publi-
cation of another bond issue Of some
thing like $18,OOOVwlll be published,
for street paving, and the 800 feet
of bad road complained of in the EN-
ponent will be paved before the snow
flies.
Under the paving law adopted by
the town another bond issue is neces-
sary before any more paving
can be done. but with the pass
Ing Of this bond issue every street
