They do not look like any treasure
Yet they shall keep people until

It's future growth and development
in that portion of the city. If the
route to the bridge is to be through
Vine street there is little doubt but
that in time that section will become
far more attractive than in the past
and Bath should see to 1t that 1t is.
Much of the impression which the
stranger gets in passing through
Bath will be due to the conditions
prevailing at the entrance to the
bridge and in that vicinity. Bath
should take means to see that the
impression gained is a favorable one.
Should it be necessary to remove

that it will, 1t will mean the re-
