Every public improvement we make in Florence is another paving block laid in the road leading to increased civic prosperity. The taxpayers, who are responsible for these improvements, build the pathway which will let into our city new home-seekers, investors and workers who are now held back by the town's present limitations. Outsiders are attracted to a community by what it has to offer in the way of facilities and conveniences at a moderate cost. If we can show them well paved streets and sidewalks, modern schools, and other public utilities, they will settle here, bringing business and industry with them. Municipalities sometimes "slow up" on needed improvements to keep down expenses, but often there is a question whether this course saved or lost money for the town. We all favor economy, but Florence should never confuse it with false ecomomy.
