1T sure is refreshing to see the
business like manner in which the new
City Council is taking hold of i'm
provement matters, Our little town
is steadily getting out of the village
class and taking ON city appearance.
The street department is really find
ing the cmbs, and the crossing by
Young and Ridgway's has been flied
and one can now get owe; the con.
~ete walk without breaking ones nose
on the bows of the top of ones car.
The street by the post office has
1een taken out of the deser. sand
class and one can now head in at the
curb and be assured OF getting away
without calling on the wrecker TO pull
them out. Besides finding the cGrbs
the department has found gravel to
surface most of the streets thruout
the town, and that was big saving.
The old idea that we cannot have
good streets only when It rains is
blasted again demonstrating that just
little labor rightly directed will do
wonders.
"It is no crime to spend some money
when one knows II is not being wasted
and it is fine thing to have do
