But with the snow of winter , the slush of spring and the normal rainfall of summer , this city is used to having streets kneedecp in mud n good portion of an average year. Everybody realizes the importance to Norfolk , from every view point , of providing a paved street to the new Third street depot , so that visitors won't have to ride through a mire for an hour before getting up town. Lack of pavement In muddy weather works very serious Injury to Norfolk In every way. It keeps people away from town and makes them knock when they have to come. It's a big black eye. We've wasted ono entire summer this year , not laying a single paving brick. Are wo going to shiftlessly repeat that performance next year ? If we're not , NOW'S the time to get the paving petitions up to the council , so that work can start In early spring. Every summer Norfolk loses , without adding paved streets , keeps the town back. And If we're ever to pave ( which everybody knows we are ) why not do It , and begin getting the benefit of it ? lias been successful in holding off nnythlng life .a gimoTnl suspension of industrial activity which might de velop Into a revolution.

Entrusted to Subordinate. Verygin was Kurloff's right hand man and maintained close relations vlth Kurloff's family.
