Spring weather hints at relief from muddy roads in area
Springlike warmth dries muddy roads as days of better conditions may erase worst traffic issues.

He noted a resident with weak eyes using a large reading glass to read from a distance and commented on many autos touring for pleasure on Sundays. Spring housecleaning in the city begins with street department work on North Mercer street and the appearance of the sans hat gang downtown. Continued on Page Two.
