WANTS STREET OPENED
Letter to the Bluefield city editor appeals for reopening a street cut through two wholesale merchants properties west of the overhead bridge. Residents west of the bridge suffer mud and railroad crossing hazards while eastern residents enjoy better access. The writer argues the city should act to aid all citizens, noting a possible purchase of the outlet by the city. Also includes brief notes on clock regulation by pendulum magnets and unrelated aphorisms.
