ET8 taka a, walk out through
the city of Fremont.
It la lata afternoon. Tha aun
la declining In tha waat and
the "cool of ttb ovanlnc" U
at hand.
Wa will leavo Main atrmt with Ita many
automobltaa and walk out on of Uicm
broad, atralirht, ahaded atreota, leadlna
off to tha right and tha loft.
Aa you look down Ita length you look
beneath aa archway of great treea, grow
Ing on althar aide, their green branohea
lnUrlocklng In tno middle.
8idewalka are nearly all of cement, of
vuUform width Street oroaalnga are aleo
of cement.
Between curb and aldewalk U a park
ing apaoa of treea graaa about thirty
feet wide. From the aldewalk back to
the building line la a amooth. level atretoh
of green graae about fifty feet wide.
Each home la placed In ample apaoa
with lawn atretohing all around. Oreat
treea and little treea, spread their cool,
protecting ahade. There are roae buahea
and chruoa. Thar are many flower
beda. Some realdeota have placed borders
of flower along tha publlo aldewalk
and there they bloom In their unplucked
glory without need of any protootlng
algna to warn agalnat picking tha flow
era or not stepping on them.
In tha back yards are fruit trees and
, grape arbors.
On tha front porchea are comfortable)
rocking chairs. Inviting hammock and
porch swings.
Children are playing In some yarda,
prim tittle girls In starchy whit frocks,
white atocklnge, whit slippers.
The click of lawn mowers la heard.
'Here la a splendid reeldenoe aet In the
midst of a lawn a block broad. It great
portico In the southern style Is supported
by six massive pillars. The garag sets
back, and is also arobttaotunJly beau
tiful. The ground show ertdenoea of
careful landscape gardening. This la the
residence of Ray Nye.
Another treat, rambling, whit house
with deep, cool-looking porch I not tar
away, surrounded by It perfectly kept
green lawns and flower beds, the home
of R. 11. Schneider.
Here on Military avenue la a big. In
viting h rnie In perfect taste with hand
a .me, spacious grounds, the home of
George K. Woli. ex-mayor, wholesale
baker and president of the Commercial
Club.
These are but typical of the scores of
elenant homes to which could be added
the Teijtelrr, Morehouse, Fowler, Drown,
Fried, 1 .arson and many others.
Those homos which are not so preten
tious are svt also In spat'lous lawna and
amid flowers ami trws. Nature ahowera
her smiles upon th rich and the merely
, ".mfortur.ly fixri" alike In Fremont.
And all the time the automohllea pun
up and down these streets. At many
homes the cars are standing at the curb,
big cars and little cars, and a goodly
cumber of the art toc ratio etectrloa. Why,
that
everybody tiaa
auto-
It aeema
mobile. -
The aun has reached the horlaon and
there iemi to pause a moment for a
lingering glimpse at this happy and
prosperous community. Then It sinks to
rest, leaving a golden glow at the west
ern sky, typical of the golden grain that
oomes perennially from tha "fat, black"
aoll of Dodge county and pours a golden
treasure every year Into the lap of these
fortunate people.
And on can't help comparing thla oity
with cities of equal else In the east.
Ther the brick houee are huddled to
gether, on flat agalnat the other, and
all oloa agalnat the aldewalk In front.
Llttl alleyways, thirty inohes wide lead
to the , little back yarda. Almost no
greenery, no treea, no flowers.
Is Fremont 4 good place to live?
