BIG IMPROVEMENT
IN BUSINESS SECTION
Sidewalk on north side Mountain
street will be lowered and build
ings remodled.
Much improvmciit is to be
dpnu on the Norh side f Moun
tain street between Cherokee
street and Railroad 'Avenue. The
sidowatk is t'i ha lowe red aud
narrowed, and some if not all
the buildings adjacent will bo
lowered and improved accord
ingly. Begiaing at the ('herokee
crossiug the sidewalk will he
lower d two feet tapering the
grade out n-ear Kailroud avenue
Long Brothers of Gastonia own
the corner builc'ng at Cherokee
occupied by McGir.nis Brothers
an) the one next it occupied by
tho Pastime. These two build
ings will be overhauled end
brought 011 a gravity with the ad
justed sidawalk. A local com-
udtte has coudemed tliu Pastime
building but a Gastonia buiid
ng insnector thinks there in no
immediate danger. The fronts
of the two buildings will be re
moved and nice pressed brick
fronts put in and will be net
with iiiodom plate glass,
Messrs J. C IRiingardner and J.
O. Plonlr who ovni the next two
buildings respectively will likely
make eom-mensueate iinpro"
ments but have not yet signified
thier plans.
' The sidewalk will lie narrower
ah the way from l'it dmoi t avu-
nuo thus mahing the street
slightly broaded.
This work will nd.l freallv to
the tp.uearance of jur principal
thoroughfare fttid business sec
tiou. These old buildings that
have stood for twenty to twenty
five years made modern and the
sidewalk brought, to a corras
pondling grade with that of the
opposite side wili be no small
improvement.
