It Is Continually Striving After Something Better That Does lit
T-T t K?W
The Boardwalk at St. Petersburg,
Florida, for Automobile Drives
out into the Bay is very popular afternoons and
evenings, though not quire a half mile long. ,
The idea comes that a way might be found to
-k out such a drive for Atlantic Qity, which needs
to keep on adding to its attractions.
A two-storied boardwalk on the ocean front has
many objections, and to lessen its present walkway is
not to bethought of.
It could be done, however, along the Thorough
fare on the west by the water side all the way to
Longport.
For invalids and old people to whom the chair
rides are tiring and for children with their nurses
and baby carriages, a section of the Boardwalk could
be railed off, .separating it from motor dangers.
We ought to be learning and doing something
every day to.add to the conveniences and comforts of
our cities as well as our homes and stores.
What a long step forward this Store made!
Thank you. ,
