The Odd Fellow Association have
recently finished the extension of the
cement sidewalk at their building on
Main street, and filled in and seeded
to grass the boulevard on the south
side, and with the fine appearance OF
the county court house lawn this is
now a very attractive corner, the
only oh.iectional outlook being on the
city property across the way. This
is partly due to the unfinished paving
east of Main street. We suggest that
as soon as the paving is completed,
the carts, scrapers, grading machines
ETC., be disposed Of by being parked
on the east side of the lots a the
alley in an orderly form and keep the
Main street side of the lots free from
these tools, as they do not conform
to the surroundings or enhance the
beauty of the landscape.
