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.
