When in the past the citizens
of Lancaster considered the pos-
sibility of our little city making
any progress ' toward a bigger
and a better town, they invari-
ably turned with hopeful hearts
to the future and remarked,
“W^it until the inter urban
comes.” The interurban has
come. The dream has become a
reality. Evidently then the long
expected opportunity has come.
And yet upon the beginning of
this new epoch in our town's his-
tory, with the golden opportu-
nity within our grasp, we sleep.
The business men of our* town
are considering no plan of con-
certed action to reap the benefits
