CITIZEN MAKES ASUBGESTIDN

Bellwood taxpayers   aad  the
members of the Excelsior Firs
compsoy No. 1 should be interested in tbe concrete road which ear
town council proposes  to  build
from the William Peon Highway
ont East Third afreet and down
Sooth Tuckahoe   street to  ths
Methodist   choroh corner.. We
ere of the opinion tbst it is a sale*
take to build a  thirty-foot road
tbis way, es it will aot be of benefit
to our town in   tbe  future.   We
think e twenty-foot road build oa
Antis street, from Maia street to
ths State highway woold be much
better in maoy ways-it woold cost
over one-third less,  being  three
hundred feet the  shorter   roots,
snd one-third narrower would  be
sufficient tor traffic coming that
way.   It would cross less water
lines into the houses and it would
be in direct lias to a bridge should
one be proposed across tbe main
line of the P. B. B. at this t>oint;
end tbe need tor  another   means
of crossing the tracks of the railroad company la the borough baa
long been felt, end in oo distant
time this may become ao imperative necessity, as we all known of
tbe   means  that aow* exist tor
lor reaching the north side of the
borough.   By  improving  Antis
street with a concrete highway, it
would open op  a street needed
more than some other streets.
Every taxpayer  sod    firemee
should be  sufficiently  interested
members of the town council next
Monday evening in the puplic
building, wbeo tbis matter will
come up for consideration and
po-sibly final action. If yoo cannot attend, then send a representative. As a citizen of the borough, you will help to pay tor this
improvement, bo therefore be on
the job and at the meeting next
Monday evening.
