Quincy Needs and Plan to Pave Its Streets
The Whig reports Quincyans favor a new plan to fund permanent street paving. Mayor Abbott backs a bond issue of 2100 a year for five years, matched by property owners, to create a 1,000,000 capital for paving within five to six years. Critics worry about taxes, but supporters cite long-term savings and broader street access. L. B. Hoswell urges industrial growth and more rail lines to boost Quincy’s status as a manufacturing hub and residential city.
