Resident Favors Proposed Street Improvement Plan Editor Herald The Logan eity commission's report re-port as contained in the "News" of August 28th is as follows; "With 77 blocks either hard surfaced or in the final stages of completion and seven more graveled and ready to oil, 30 blocks remain unfinished in the extensive road oiling program pro-gram of Logan City." The writer is in a position to know that this is the program that is nationwide in the small cities of our country. Provo's commission initiated such a program but enough of the citizens protested to make it inadvisable to proceed. They then offered to the citizens of the northeast portion of the town the opportunity of gaining the advantages of .surfaced roads. WTl' this project be defeated also?
