(Second Installment)

The people of Robbins being
pioneers. know what it is to
build. Most of us have had
sewers run to our homes and
water piped into the house. You
may fool people who have not
had this experience, but the
average home-owner knows that
when sewers and water lines
are properly installed they re-
rrire no care for at least five
or ten years. perhaps longer
Had the officials who were re-
sponsible for the installation o.
such utilities seen to it that
they were properly installed
we would not have had all the
breaks and cave-ins we've had
in the last two years. These
are the outgrowth Ola previous
administrations.
This village never has had
decent streets. Mr.. Riston, who
is running on the Independent
Citizens Party ticket, was the
best offioi9l ever to be placed
ever the streets in the history
of the Village IF Robbins. Two
years ago the, Independents
came into office. They found
water meters broken, busted
end some buried in the mud
Mr.. Ingram dug these up. He
salvaged two or three hundred
dollars worth of equipment that
world otherwise have been lost
Remember in 1854 it cost us
$1,135 ,0CO to have this work
done. Should it be in need OF
repair within the span of two
years? Was the job done right
in the first place? Don't let
these office seekers who are
ont campaigning just to be in
the ewes of the public, mislead
you. They have no intention o.
doing the work that is so vital
to our way of governing the
village.

Lexington Cleanup
Campaign Underway

The annual Cleanup, Paint-Up.
Fix-Up campaign is underway in
Lexington and will last for two
weeks, Through June %.
Campaign chairman Austin Glib
son called a meeting of all COM
mitteemen last Thursday at which
time a discussion of how many
of the eye-sores in town could be
eliminated. Committees have been
named to contact property owners
around the square to get merch-
ants to spruce up their store fronts.
Property owners on Yazoo Street
have been contacted with hopes of
getting them to either fix UP or
tear down some of the sub-standard
houses. A suggestion was made at
the meeting to try to get property
owners just north of the old Fin
cher home on Yazoo Street to i'm
prove the appearance of their
store fronts.
Chairman Gibson and Mrs. Mary
Fincher made a tour of the city
last Thursday and took notes on
various vacant lots and other prop
critics that are in bad need of
cleaning up to give the streets and
town better appearance.
A series of before and after
pictures will be published in the
Herald showing what progress is
made after the campaign is over.
A suggestion was also made at
the meeting to look into the feasi-
bility of possibly opening another
street from Highway II to. inter-
sect with Cemetery Street to give
funeral professions a more direct
route to the cemetery. In the past
professions have been routed
down Cemetery Street and many
out-of-town visitors get bad i'm

of improvement.

that every property owner in town
