It's the County's Time Next.
It was noted in this paper some
days ago that Mayor Means was
improving the i road leading from
the railroad to the bridge be
yond the depot. He has widened
it considerably and ; otherwise
improved it and now if the county
can possibly see fit it would im
prove the road wonderfully for
the remaining part of it
to the bridge to be improved
also. The incorporation line
does not extend to the bridge,
leaving a strip of road of the
worst kind during the rainy sea
son especially, and the bicyclists
are always complaining. Between
the incorporation line and the
bridge there is almost always
mud to prevent pedestrians and
