Tbe an nouncement that the white way would be constructed along with tbe per manent pavement was received with great interest and favor by. many and numerous expressions commended the action were heard. However, the comment was not al together unanimously favorable.. One well known business man, in speak ing of the subject, said to a represent ative of this paper: "Yon have pub lished articles favoring the white way, why not give an opinion opposing itt" "I have no special objection to a white way, but I think there are oth er things we need just now more than we do a white wav. We need a fire pump and a number of mains need extending, which would cost about 15,000. I think we should have these things before a ..white , way.. I also think that it would be better if we are going to make an appropriation for a white way to spend the money for putting down more streets, and sidewalks. A white way, to me is ex travagance, when we need these other things." A well known merchant also gave his views on the matter. He is out and out in favor of the white way and is boosting it in a most enthusiastic DEXOXST&ATOK HERE.
