Perry Street To Be Given
Temporary Surface Cover

The city will advertise for bids
on temporary surface treatment
of Perry street as a result OF ac-
ton by council last Tuesday night
at city hall.
Due to serious deterioration of
the mile length of Perry Street
from the city limits to the Por-
age river bridge, city officials are
fearful that the street will not
survive another winter.
The temporary treatment, which
would consist of binding the loose
brick surface with an oil and tar
compound, was recommended by
Councilman Lee Bracken, in lieu
of black topping, which the city
feels would be prohibitive at an
estimated cost of 100000.

men to the council chambers Tues

nance was designed to protect lc-
gitimate statesmen and lock out
the unscrupulous ones, Hutchins

are effectively wedding out the
sharpies in direct selling"
