DEBORAH, Iowa, May 5, 1919.
AT meeting of the DEBORAH CONNER
cial Club the following resolution was
adopted:
Whereas, our neighboring cities and
towns are making extensive improve
ments in paving their streets;
And whereas, number of the prin-
cipal streets of our city could be great
ly improved by similar action here
which would in the end be a saving to
the citizens of DEBORAH, and DEBORAH
has always taken the lead in the way
OF making permanent improvements:
And whereas, in addition to the ben
eft to be derived from paving by our
citizens, it would tend to beautify our
city and give it a leading place among
the municipalities of our State;
We therefore resolve that we would
recommend that the question of paving
be taken up by your honorable body
in the near future and that the DEBORAH
Commercial Club will back and assist
any action that may be taken along
this line by the members of the City
Council of DEBORAH
Very Respectfully,
DEBORAH COMMERCIAL CLUB.
