up-to- date city with we'll paved and lighted streets.
 Prescott has lost a great deal oi money by not having paved streets. This city has spent enough money TOT labor and material for the upkeep or the roads to have paved the streets or Prescott four times or more.
 Prescott has lost in population Peo- pie coming here see the unpaved streets and when they go home they tell their friends about the slow town or Pres- cott On the other hand. if the streets were paved they would tell their friends of the up- to- date town of Prescott with paved streets and the wonderful cii- mate The people would come out here to see the town. Some would stay here and therefore increase the population.
 The garages. groceries and hostelries lose trade. The garages lose trade be- cause the rich people coming here would naturally bring their cars and spend money for accessories. repairs, gasoline and parking if the streets were paved. The population increasing, the people would demand more food there fore the grocery trade would be helped along The people first coming in would demand new and upto- o-date hotels. so the hotel trade would be re- established on a larger and better scale than before.
 Paved streets would also eliminate much of the dust in spring and make the town much more attractive to the tourists.
 Therefore. Prescott has lost many business men. much money, a large population and much trade by not having paved streets.
 Moral: Pave your streets
