Mn, EDrroR-There are constant COM
plants from almost every one in the city,
in regard to the condition of the streets and
cutters, and with reference to sundTy NUS
ances. &c, and il must be confessed that
much work is really needed to be done in
every portion of the city but do those per
sons who complain so much reflect that they
have not paid theiI city Taxes; that the
city treasury is empty; that laborers will
not work without pay, and that it takes
money to pay laborers
Many things are needed to be done. A
Jail must be built-a bridge across Pearl
River constructed-the City Hall 10 be re-
paired-new public school houses are re-
quired-streets require to be worked with
out doubt and many other matters call
for immediate attention and outlay-but,
who is to blame In most instances the
very men who make the complaints are
those who have not paid their taxes. Sure
" they must not expect people to work for
nothing, and pay their own expenses, for the
luxury of being abused. Almost all the re-
eeipts of the city are in old aearraats-there
is an amount of $4,000 in taxes now due
let this be paid and l promise to improve
the streets. But if people wont pay they
should, at least cease TO complain.
The reason is very obvious why the work
Is not done, it is simply this: workmen viii
not labor without pay, and the ity has no
money wherewith TO pay them
