Streets Praised and Public-minded Reform Urged for Athens
The Athens council faces street cleaning woes as thawed streets turn muddy. The Commercial Club is urged to organize a plan, possibly hiring a street repair superintendent and using an owned team to haul sweepings away. A.E. Howe’s death is honored for his unselfish civic life, contrasting with avarice. Longtime editor A. D. Alderman retires from the Register Leader, leaving plans for rest and future work. An Atlantic City doctor warns against oscalation of grip, and Parkerburg tightens dope laws. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is praised by Kirksville merchants. New York Central President Newman urges slower, safer rail speeds for punctuality and reliability.
