s TUB NORFOLK NEWS : FRIDAY MARCH 80,190G. H. E. OWEN 8UQQE8T8 AN EXCEL. LENT PLAN FOR NORFOLK. WOULD IMPROVE FIRST STREET Dy Mnklng a Good Gravel Rondwny Along First Street From Norfolk Avenue to Junction , Heavy Pulling and Muddy Driving Would be Elim inated. A gravel tlrlvo along First street from Norfolk avomio to tlio Jiuicllun will Botvo the problem of muddy trips between the Northwestern main line railroad station and the cltj , accordIng - Ing to II. H. OWIMI. Ihu well known railroad bull li l Norfolk , who IH very mncb Inti'ivHtod In Norfolk and particularly In this regard. Coming from a man of Mr. OWOII'H oxporlonco nlouR these llni'H , the suggestion will probably have weight with people of the city and It Is more than likely that the graveled roadway , hnllt after Mr. Owen's suggested plans , may be come a reality If the proposition moots approval In Norfolk. Mr. Owen suggests that gravel be hauled Into First street ( rom two miles In the country , and that a bed of the lltUo stones bo spread from First street to the Junction In a path about fourteen feet wldo wldo enough for hacks to pass In and that It range from a depth of a foot at the center down to a feather odgo. The Cost. "Tho coat of building such a grnvol roadway , " said Mr. Owen , "would bo much Ions than the ordinary person might suppose. I am Bnro that $ GOO would go a long way to build such a roadway. Hack In Illinois , where I came from , they haul gravel for this purpose for eight or nlno miles , whllo hero wo could get It by hauling only two nnd a half. The way to do It would bo for the city council to moas tire the street , got the distance In feet , determine how many yards of gravel would bo needed to make the drive way and then lot the Job to the lowest responsible blddor. In this way you would know Just liow much money It would cost before you started. "And this money could bo easily raised In Norfolk. There Is not a business man In town who would not contribute , the hackmen and livery men would contribute , Madison county would spend a llttlo money hero to Improve this county road and the city of Norfolk could put a llttlo of Its street money hero. The Effect. "Tho effect would bo a permanent driveway that could bo used every day In the year , regardless of snow or rain , and without oven getting your buggy wheels muddy. As It Is todaj there Is no driveway from the Junc tion up town that can bo nsod In mud dy weather like this to any degree of satisfaction. The muddy rends , mak ing slow traveling , arc an eyesore to strangers who arrive In the city. It hurts the town. Under the now plan If It Is carried out , you can trot a team of horses down that drive an > day of the winter or summer. "UacK in Illinois wo llvcu twelve miles from town but on the muddlosi day In the year wo could hitch up am trot our teams to town without gottlnt , a spot of mud on the buggy , Just be cause wo had these gravel driveways "Thoro nio plenty of workmen In Norfolk with teams who could go to work on the road. Lot the contrac to someone who Is reliable. I am no interested in this for any motives o trying to get business , for I sbouldn * oven bid on the Job , but I would car nestly like to see a good road. Whoi the people saw what an Improvomon It was , It would not bo long before they would have the same kind o streets all over the town. "A hack man would bo glad to pa > a good contribution to save wear 01 his horses and wear and tear on his cabs. 1 would give $10 and $20 If need od. Norfolk business men will glvo enough money if the question Is properly orly put. " Notice of School Election.
