The citizens of Newport appre
ciate this work of the. present
.administration and hope that t
may be continued to all our dirt
streets., not alone for the bene
fit derived by our roads, but to
our/Surface sewerage, which be
comes more prompt and etfectu
and thus has a sanitary value.
We believe that "he financial
condition of the city justifies
md calls for this improvement
and that it furthermore will pro
vide for an up-keep expense.
When dirt roads are thus ‘rear
ed. they ought to be properly
maintained and a road brag ised
throughout the city upon these
streets will keep *hem n condi
tion.
Good dirt roads ifforri better
travel than macadam roads,
which have not been property
kept up and >ur streets should
lie maintained so that they will
continue as good examples if
^ coad work.
