With this week the work on the
streets. on account of the street inn
provement work will come to close
until next spring. The approach of

the spring when the days are longer
and the weather is more certain. The
materials will be stored and placed

many pavements to be put in shape
for winter, and that interiors with
the street work so much that the
Town Council deemed it time to
bring the work to a halt.
