HighPoint
It is very gratifying to note
the many improvements going on
in the city just now. It is notice
able in every direction. The con
tractors are all busy and there is
enough work already planned for
active operations until fall. Con
tracts amounting to over $100,-
000 have been let nr the plans are
in hand ready for hids. It looks
like we will break the record
within the next twcFc ni Mhs.
With these private improve
ments we note also the public im
provements which are responsi
ble directly or indirectly for the
private improvements because
we cannot have one without the
other to any considerable extent.
When a city gives public conven
iences of the right kind the out
side is not only attracted but it
encourages home people to widen
out and make improvements.
Let us keep this in mind ;md
prepare for the future. We will
soon have to have larger school
facilities and we must begin to
prepare to extend the good
streets. water and sewerage.
There are two plans by winch
the most of this work may ..be
dune and in a city that is grow
ing to the extent that our c ity
is, it is well to look ahead and
be ready to act at the pro;er
time. This work has been done
in the past and will have to be
done in the future by those n ho
want to see the town grow and
are willing to help bear the ex
pense.. I iy those of our citizens
vlio Lave with much civic pride
provided for tie Building of the
town gardttallv putting improve
ments where they were most
needed and trusting- to the ulti
mate result of such prog re;'..
1 Let us keep up the record we ate
now making, taking care that we
will be prepared at all times
never to go backward for the lack
of those things nccessaiv to our
rruwth and
development.
