A BETTER EEAVERTON
The Beaverton city fathers awoke
to the awful fact, -That
Beaverton waaa fossil with
moss upon its . back,
And 't was their parental duty
t rake the nuisance down
And by the, "mw era"-process,
They would have to bond
the town. ' ; -
So they got the water system,
But that was not enough;
They now must have a sewer tc(
. carry the surplus off,
And now the nice large school
house built so little time
,' ".. ago; .. ......
Was not large enough to hold
them, for they'd began to
' grow.
So more bonds for another school
house, and more loans to
.-; . purchase. : . .
And would seem to be about all
. poor old Beaverton could
stand;"" '.
But they suddenly discovered
that their joy was ., not
complete,' ' , - . '
Foi they were suffering for a
city park wherein to..pla

One want creates another; soon

Will be wanted to earl heaven

All iclamoring for a better Beav
