STREET CROSSINGS

We believe that some way should be

in Julesburg would be kept free from

any progressive community to have q
condition exist whereby it is necessary
to trudge through mud on street
crossings after every storm. We see
no reason why this condition cannot
be remedied-the sooner the better.
