STREET IMPROVEMENT

The new Council is doing a good piece of work in the grading of Broadway with the crossings and side streets near Broadway. Its to be hoped the council will see its way clear to purchase a Road Scrap or and thus make possible for a comparatively small outlay, the same Improvement on all the streets. With an outlay of about two hundred dol lars for a scraper, two teams and two men would do enough work each spring in q few days to almost pay for the sCraper each year. The streets would have drainage-a big i.em in keeping them dry and hard grass could easily be cleaned out and the centers raised as they should he. The old hand method or even horse sCraper method is obsolete even in the smallest towns in the states. A road scrapcr with two teams will do the work of twenty men at a tenth of the cost.
