Reynolds street is toe rough

A rood plowing and dragging will
make a first class street out of it

there if it is reworked.

are glsd to see it, Stamford wont to
hoavy expense to lav the paving and
it should be kept in good condition
.and made to last as long as possible.
Several have remarked to The
American that we were absolutely
right about the tourist park proposi-
tion and that they hoped to see it
materialise. It will. Stamford is too
progressive net to. be modern along
WI Mae and will establish the park
in due tihM. But it will cost less bow
than after a real boom hits this city
—and the boom is on the way, never
doubt. Stamford is sitting in the
game of West Texas developments
