motorists is a problem for the council to solve our own opinion is that the trouble will never be solved until some type of permanent surface is laid on these streets of a tarvia nature the cost we believe would not be excessive and would be borne by a frontage charge and a portion spread over the whole village so many other towns are taking this means to lay permanent roads on their best residential streets with great success that it should be given serious considera tion hero a hard top road would put an end to not only the holes hut thc dust nuisance as well for long years to come just now these streets are being torn up by a scarifying outfit in order to work them down smooth while this is necessary and will remedy the troublo tor a time there is nothing permanent about it
