MAIN ST. SOUTH OF BRIDGE
OPEN FOR TRAFFIC.
The barriers which prevented the
use of the new cement road thru
the business portion of the town
-were taken down on Saturday and
Main Street is now open for traffic
as far north as the river. The bar-
riers were taken down on Saturday
night and the number of rigs and
autos that paraded up and down the
street was quite a contrast to the
deserted appearance the street has
had during the three months the
pavement has been in construction.
The building of the road has not
been without criticism and the coun-
cil has not had smooth sailing in try-
ing to please all parties. The new
road makes a decided improvement
to the Main Street and should prove
a valuable assett to the town. Busi-
ness which has been more or less
interferred with during the construc-
tion of the road, should resume nor-
mal conditions. That „portion of the
road north of the bridge is nearing
completion.
