Dear Mayor:—Jfost everythiog

gets its share as others have gol
theirs. And while they are at it,
lata go ap to the coaoty line eod
meet Reade towoahip, tben we
will have one of tbe -moat scenic
driveways in the state. This
would mean much to our neighing coanty as well as ourselves.
This would make one of the most
sensible moves io road baildiog,
eod its not possible to conceive ot
the amoont of good tbat would
come oat of the making of this
highway. Hundred ot people
have enjoyed tbis route by rail,
and how many more woald take
advantage by auto, not mention,
ing tbe tremendous track traffic
io tbe way of deliveries botb ways,
accruing from the faot that this
route is the shortest, and may it
be tbat whatever te in tbe mind
will help dry op the mud and
improve facial profile ot Aotis.
