Columbia Had One Street in 1817---
Has $50 Now---No Special Layout

In lO4 years Columbia has developed
$50 streets.
1t was in 1877 that Anderson Woods
and a small party of pioneers settled
in few log, cabins along roadway
thai is; now called Broadway.
Staiisiicians, looking up data about
Columbia streets, have found that in
1921 the town was bounded by Park
avenue on the north, Elm street on the
south, Hit street on the east and Gene
tery road on the west. The deed for
the properly within this area was al that
time held by John Gray, Jefferson
Flccher, Lawrence Bass and David
Jackson.
Soon af,erward they improved the
property and Columbia had 10 streets,
seven running north and south and cley-
en- running cast. and west.
Today Columbia has $50 streets and
covers an area of five square miles.
Most Of the streets are laid .oul a, right

angles. although some run in an irregu-
Jar line 10 shorten the distance from
one section to another. The city engi-
neer and other engineers here say there
seems to have been no special plan for
laying out the town.
Instead of the old trails that were
used by the early settlers, Columbia now
has many paved streets which are from
forty to one hundred feet wide.
Owing to the rapid growth Of the town
new streets were almost constantly be-
ing opened. Many are named for pio-
ueer families of the community and still
bedr their original names. Some Of these
are: Price, Hit, Dorsey, Hicks, Nc
Bane and Paquin.
Other streets lof Columbia derived
their names from old landmarks. Col.
lege avenue was so named because il
runs along the site of Stephens College;
Broadway. because it is an exception
ally broad street; and Paris road. be-:
cause it is a direct road to Paris, Mo. !,

Iyei, how would you like 10 face the
proposition Of wearing a heat-atiraciing
blue uniform?. There is custom which
says that all city police shall wear uni,

ed in Columbia.
The policeman must take his bcs,
garbed as if he were preparing for win,
ter and wear his coal throughout the day
while all other workers are free to dress
as comfortably as possible. Is it fair 10
the policeman?
In most American cities the uniform
is changed in summer TO lightweight
Khaki material, with helmet of summer
construction. But Columbia has only the
heavy blue with its blue cap. Until
recently ii was moi considered necessary
to furnish policemen here with uniforms,
and now, if the condition of the, city
finances will moi warrant expenditures
for summer uniforms, the policemen
should be allowed to discard their uni.
