Buyers need encouragement concern

DRY FORK ROAD INTO TAZE.
WELL.

"They tell u.s." said "a citizen of
this town, "that the worst roads in
the county are to be found on Dry
Fork in this county. The ruts arc
deep, the mudholes are numerous and
without bottom. Travel, particularly
in wet weather, is impossible, and this
is dangerous. "Well," he went on, az
don't know about the Dry Fork roads
but if ther is 4 worse road in the
county than is to be found on Taze-
well avenue, in this town, heaven pity
the people. Part Of Tazewell avenue
is just awful, and getting more SO
every day. Why has not this road
been kept up? What has become of
the money they said we had to put
on this road? What is being done
with the town taxes? No work has
been done on the streets since before
the war. How long shall we be com
PEELED to wade thru mud and pay for
the rrivilege?"
The complaint of this private citi-
zen is not wi thout cause. Scarcely n
day passes that complaint does not
reach this Office about the condition
Of Tazewell avenue. The mud holes
and ruts can no longer be Stunned.
However, it is authoritatively stat
ed that this needed work will be done
just as soon now rs weather condi-
tions will permit.
