There are several places in the

) LOCAL COMMENT

One course Of brick on an old base
Is going to cost us In Marshalltown
s?.s5 per square yard whereas the
people OF Sanborn let contract for
bran new concrete paving this sprins
six inches thick for se.33 per square
yard. This is new pavement with
base included at 20 per cent less cost
than brick with an old base already IN
the street. Let's stick to the cheaper
pavement for residential streets and
have more Of II.
The city council exhibits a tendency
to specify paving thirty feet Wide for
residential streets. Wherever street
car tracks are laid and where streets
are adjacent to school grounds the
paving should be thirty feet wide but
twenty four feet Is wide enough on all
ordinary streets outside OF the business
district. When an extra six feet Is
added TO twenty-fou feet width y
adds IS pc. cent 10 the cost Of the paw
ing for each property and Ia need
less expense. The reason that Mar
shalltown has SO many OF its stre,.A
paved is that it's property owners near
reason they petition for paving is thai
concrete and twenty -four foot streets
has brought the cost of paving down
within the reach of all,
&
There win have to be an election In
this county sooner or later TO authorize
the county board 10 accept federal and
state aid for the paving OF its pr
harry roads. Such acceptance will add
nothing 10 our general taxes but those
who are fortunate though TO own land
within a mile and a half of the pave
mept which the government money is
&c build will be assessed for one fourth
the cost averaging from s25 to SIS -or
each quarter section each year for ten
years. The sale of an ordianry farm
for $465 per acre on the Lincoln high
way pavement east Of town should
sive US some idea of the benefit TO be
derived by nearby property from a
paved road. Aside from the benefit
TO property values who would rot
gladly invest the price of one or two
extra auto tires year in order to have
u paved road from his farm to town?
E
The schools are out and the indus
tries are calling for labor. Let every
young person be usefully employed this
summer as tho the war were on. The
fighting has ceased but the waste of
war has not yet been resored and de-
construction is calling for labor as
urgently as preparation for war called
last summer. The things used up by
the armies were largely the products
OF labor. The labor they consumed
was withdrawn from the making of
things we use and need in peace. Now
We must make up that lost labor and
the country needs every hand.
The season has arrived for drown
ings in the Iowa river which always
occur every summer. The city coun-
Gil should see to it that the lagoon in
the city park is kept filled with fresh
water to invite the youthful bather and
keep him out OF the river. Two boys
in the lagoon are safer than one IN
the river.
