The street lights North of the business district have been a disgrace to the city for some time; now with North Main Street being the freeway exit, we should really be proud of them. Other towns are trying to improve and progress while it seems Payson is going back to the horse and buggy days. I am wondering what color they plan on painting the hitching posts. The old time atmosphere does not appeal to me. I would rather live in the twentieth Century and try to attract industry, etc. to Payson; than to drive my horse and wagon to town. I would be yery interested in hearing the opinion and feelings of other Payson residents concerning this matter.
