The CoRPoRATioN-WRo Is RESPONSIBLE
So many COM laints have come to our ears
about the condition of our streets and side
walks, that We deem il our duty to call atten.
ton to them. We know not whose fault it is
that we have no Common Council and that no
one is responsible for the diapidated condition
OF the bridges over the town run, and the mi.er-
able sidewalks on main street aud else where
but this we know that the old Common Coun-
Gil had gone 10 work with a commendable zeal
to repair the ravages made by time and war
and were progressing satisfactorily with the
work, when they were removed from Office BY
an order from Gov. Boreman, the Ieascn for
| which rs not necessary 10 discuss and for some
time matters remained stationary then the
Sheriff published an order for ali election for
Common Council and town officers, and if tina,
election was ever held we have never heard
OF IT, though several months have elapsed since
The time appointed for IT, kumor says not
| and gives several reasons for its being abandon
ed, and they not very crrdilable. But he this
as 1t may, II Is disgrace to our town and cor
poration TO have such complaints made and to
have it said that ii is too poor TO support a
corporation, and SO radical that such petty Of
ices are not permitted to be held by men who
feel an interest in lis appearance, and have
heretofore attended TO their duty, and will do
so again, and will restore the former neat and
cleanly appearance Of our ancient Borough.
Let us have somebody that is responsible for
good order and neatness in our village, and 10
take care Of The public property.
