The village commenced the work of
washing off the cement street this
week and it is a commendable move
on the part of our village authorities.
The street will be washed every week
which will eliminate the dust nuisance.
We believe it will be cheaper to wash
the street with the city fire hose than
it would be to hire a man and team to
use the sprinkler. By washing off the
dirt there is no dust to fly and in using
the sprinkler during the hot days of
summer it would need the services of
the sprinkler nearly every day.
Harry Thomas and family spent
Sunday at the home of Perry Hall at
Sylvan.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gaylord Stewart of
