When Dr. Sarazin came to Nyssa,
the requisites of a physician, in
addition to a medical education,
were a horse and a buggy to carry
him over the dusty and muddy
roads and to lord the rivers, and

In respect to the little doctor

Fourth street and Park avenue.

erected the black weather vane, a

avenue.
King avenue will be surfaced

way and Park avenue will be sur­
faced from highway 20 west to
the city limits, where the thorough­
fare is known as Alberta avenue.
The distance to the improved on
