Thc streets In Town and Country.
10 tnc Editor OF Tho p0llns lIcmld,

10 the Editor OF The Dallas Herald;
While ! am very much pleased with
the general tenor Of "1ho TOWN. ar
tcle in your issue Of the g5th, we are II
little surprised to know that the Getty
does not need streets away out IN the
country" and only 'rlse to EXPLAIN
this propositions That II "rhe TOWN.
will release us from the taxes they are
etcrnally trying TO collect from Us din
the country that we will release
them from the very great (?) effort they
are continually making to give us
"cross streets in the country
Why do yon know, Mr.. Editor, that
the city authorities are constantly In
labor over this great question Of "cross
streets in the comtry?p Doyou know
that, while we have our salarcd OIL
GERS from three dollar Aldermen up,
City Enginccrand Street Commissioner
(wh0sc business ii Is TO look after these
things, that we Din the country" can
have nothing done to our streets with
out 'pctitlonW "pctition ~ while IL
takes no "petitionn to work Main, ELM
and Commerce streets; il takes no
"pctitlon" TO cut great canals and
buid rock walls along Main street, and
fill up market house lots. These are
all done with our "taXesn and not by
"petition,n
We ain the country" have been
looking to "petiton" for five years to
give US cross streets and improve those
we already have, which are among the
oldest streets "in the country" until
we have lost faith in "petitions,' and
now appeal to "TaXcsn to come to our
relief, and we ain the countryn believe
that the taxes which we pay into the
city treasury can be appropriated more
bcncficially for us than is being done
every day. We believe that all these
Improvements now going on will be
"mighty lovely" when finished, but we
know that we have devil Of time
getting out to enjoy them.
Well, we do not expect the authori-
ties to please everybody, but we know
by the signs we see, that somebody is
being pleased too often to suit every
body. The only practical means" we
see to get streets is to cease spending
money on streets and lots where it is
not needed and purchase and improve
streets that are wanted and needed.
Streets absolutely necessity must
be purchased at the expense of private
parties, while those actually open and
in good condition Save Il little repairs
must be made "more better rs good'
at public expense, this is IA very i'm
practical means to get more streets.
Now Mr. "The Town, do not ignore
lis completely ain the country"
because we pay taxes and vote too,
sometimes, but when you get your
"cross street, job through sin the bust
ness portion" help us little to get
some "alleys," and ifyou think that is
asking too much we will be satisfied
with Contract" If we cannot get
this then we will have to form II
HGrange ring" and make "corner'
III favor of cross streets in
