It also read that one of our council men said "that the only way we're going to get smart is to let the streets go to heck for a while and then bring up the issue and let the people themselves decide what they want done about their Why is it up to the people to decide? Isn't this why we have a city council and a street department? I wonder how bad streets have to get before our Mr. Bode gets some backing. At least one of our council men drives around to see what shape our streets are in.

In other towns the street department checks for bad spots every few weeks and fills the holes with black top and not chat Last year they were only graded in spots.

More fame should be spent in analyzing the budget submitted by the administration so that the prop er amounts of money arc allotted to specific items. 2.
