Country wagons crowd city streets demand action
A sober observer notes daily shrinking stop points for country wagons and wagons from the country are being funneled into narrower spaces. The High land park grove, once a wagon haven after cotton loads, will become a railroad influenced park. Streets fill with stone, lumber, and asphalt, hindering horsemen and wagons alike as electric cars claim routes. Action is urged to accommodate country wagons soon.
