After being in Albany a prominent Portland man sent the Democrat theser impressions of Albnnyt Albany attracts attention right away from the strangers because of its wide, clean streets and prosperous appearing, homes. Albany is just naturally sit uated for a city. It can't help growing. The city should either secure or exercise the power to sweep outof the way some of tlio old wooden buildings that threat en a great conflagration. It can be ' done. Commercial pressure is helping -some. Salem found increased assess monts on sh'icks to help some, too Albany has some beautiful scener y ' along the river banks. Some artist could gain inspiration from the great bridge spanning the clear Willamette. Albany needs still better local trans portation It has better lecal facilities in this regard than any city in the interior of Oregon. It is a regular Hub. The local lines should be electrified. More trains could then be run. The oftener and the more the better. ' Per haps some of our railroad managers are- I tittle slow. Perhaps Albany is forget I ung what her people have accomplished. v setting a move on. All together. .ow: boost! Tom WatKins rire Warden.. Tom H.
