landings, we would have had the i'm
provements long ago"
There are many more who feel the
same as Mr.. Winchester concerning
the proposed improvements. The ap-
proving attitude is becoming so
marked that it is believed the may
or and council will take early action.
The condition of the streets now and
in the past has made the people real
ize that the remedy is no matter for
"Piker" action. The job will, no
doubt, be done in the right way and
on the right scale, and with the least
possible delay.
Mr.. Jos. L. Fisher, cashier of the
Peoples State and Savings Bank, is
very enthused over the proposition,
and believes that no time should be
lost by the citizens in carrying out
the plans.
81 am right in line with the major
ity," said Mr.. Fisher, when asked
what he thought of bond issue.
at is needless to say that something
must be done, for every one recog-
nizes the fact. The question is how
are we going to do it? I can see no
better way than by floating a long
term bond"
DR.. C. c. deGravelles declares that
he is willing to go the limit to put
Morgan City in the ranks of modern
towns. The doctor knows what the
present streets cost those people who
own outos, trucks or vehicles of any
kind-knows from experience, as a
greater part of his time is spent
travelling over the streets of the
city. And this is the concensus OF
opinion now prevailing.

"You cannot have good town un-
less you make it such," said Mr.. F. D.
Winchester, cashier of the Bank of
Morgan City, speaking to represent
ative of the Review, "and no town is
good town unless it has good
streets. The property owners should
not let the cost of building good
streets stand in the way in this case,
because the need for Improvement
over the present system IS too great
to be overlooked"
Mr.. Winchester is an ardent sup
porter of the movement to float
bond issue for the purpose of improv-
ing the streets and landings of the
city. He believes that when the prop-
osition has been definitely outlined
by experts and engineers, and the
matter submitted to the property
owners, that few will let the small
sum which each would be called upon
to pay each year for a certain period
stand in the way of undermining the
town. He readily sees the penalty of
such streets as the town is now fore
ed to make the best of, and like many
others, is anxious to see the project
realized.
"In order to build up CITY," Mr..
Winchester continued, "it is necessary
to spend money. If we are to have
good streets, it is necessary that we
spend money. True, in this case, the
money spent will represent an invest
ment on the part of the taxpayers,
yet the money will have to be spent
just the same. If everyone felt the
same as l do regarding the inprov-
ing of Morgan City's streets and
