VIII Welcome Paved Streets

With an overwhelming dust when
the wind is high and mud when it
rains, everyone is going to welcome
those paved streets, there isn't a
doubt. Mr.. Burton Roberts, who went
to Louisville one day last week, stated
that he brought back three splendid
Buick cars, and until he reached the
streets of Richmond on West Main
it would have been unnecessary for
him to even so much as to have the
cars washed off. But holy smoke,
when he hit Burnamwood, he stated
there was water standing in the
streets sufficient to give the boys p
girls a most delightful skating rink.
some evening when the temperature
dropped to zero, and that he would en-
terrain the whole bunch any evening
they would come out.
Mrs. Butler Carrier who has been
operating a dairy out on the Lancas-
ter pike for several years, gave her
opinion of the streets of Richmond in
an expression that she could run her
automobile all over her COW lot, and it
wouldn't become as near splattered
with dirt and mud as when she
drives it on the streets of Richmond.
Both of these parties are taxpayers,
upon whom part of the expense, of
making better streets would fall, and
are very willing to stand their part of
the burden in order that Richmond
may be cleaner and more sanitary
