The more made on the part of the
village hoard to replace all tho old
atreet crossings as fast as they give
out, with stone is a step well taken.
The most expensive part of the
vlliuge management lias been the
constant repairingof these crossings.
A good crossing, built of new lum
ber will last but a short time and we
are informed costs nearly as much as
that built of stone. The stone that
is now being used is about six inch
es thick and it would seem there is
no wear out to it, at least it will last
for many years to come. One ear
load of stone has been purchased
and with it two street crossings have
been permanently built. Let the
good work go on.
