We might adopt that principle and clear away the things that now clutter up our sidewalks,” he declared. — . e——— NEW ROAD GRADER HERE FOR BURI JOF PUBLIC ROADS MAINTENANCE WORK ’ To be used for maintenance work on the highways in this vicinity, a new 14000-bound road grader and snow plow was received on the steamer Victoria this week by the United States Bureau of Pub- lic Roads, from the National Ma- chinery Equipment Company.
