Entered at the Pout Office at Louis
targ, N. C., as second clans matter.
The City authorities should make
some arrangements to relieve the traf
fic congestion on West Nash street.
In view of the fact that the street Is
too narrow to park on both sides the
North side might be required to be
kept clear. By doing this the entrance
to the Postoffice would be open for the
convenience of the public. We hope
the proper authorities will give this
matter careful consideration.
