OUR ROADS AND STREETS.

The individual members of our
town council are just like the aver
age citizen. He knows things that
should be done, but he is just one
man, with living to make and his
own affairs to look after. He there
fore, is not disposed to take any
great amount of his time, or go to
any special amount of trouble in or
der to get any one thing attended t..
We venture that every member OF
our Town Council has discussed the
condition of our roads, and knows
that they should have attention, es-
pecially between the town and the
station, and between Thompson's
store and .Gillespie's store. These
roads, figuring from any point Of
view, should have had attention long
ago, and now, the spending of 10
latively small amount would save
thousands of dollars later on. If we
are not able to mend them now, how
will we be able to rebuild them la
ter? From an economic standpoint,
these roads should be repaired and
kept repaired, and the citizens of the
town should get behind the Town
Council and see that it is done.
