the crossing you crossed safely not you waded through

There no denying thatthe above were the conditions

the first thing he notices and the streets and
what all Improvement they are.
Tohom is the credit for the paved streets mostly due?
TO L. P Evans-who has labored increasingly and untir~
mgy at all times TO help the city he loves well toward
bigger and better things.

ofthe state to put down permanent streets.
Why IS it that all over the country they are spending
millions and millions of dollars and roads? It
