MAIN ST. was willing to cooperate with regards to the two railroad tracks across REF. TO ST. COMM. Main Street. Mr. Powers stated that Al Withers was interested in having a sidewalk in front of his property, and that it was his understanding that the New River Land Company was willing to give the Town additional right-of-way to the Finance Company office, if the Town would bear the cost of sidewalk construction along their property.
