Shall we Celebrate!

This is the question that has
been asked many times Of late, but
no definite answer has yet been
given, although we do not hesitate
to say that the citizens Of Alpena
will certainly celebrate in good
style the Centennial Birthday Of
the Independence of the United
States; and that every one will
use all necessary efforts to make
the festivities of the most pleasing
and enjoyable character.
Mayor Maltz has issued a call
for our citizens to meet at the
court room on Friday evening, for
the purpose of taking into consid-
Grafton the subject Of celebrating
the Fourth, and to take the neces-
sary steps towards making that
day one that will be remembered
by the people, young and old, OF
this city. We earnestly hope that
our citizenswill all attend the meet
ing and do all in their power to
make the affair the most success
full Of anything Of the kind that
has ever been given on the whole
lake shore.

We think it has been clearly

We think it has been clearly
proven to the citizens Of Alpena,
this spring, that the box drains
constructed in various parts of the
city are insufficient to carry off
the water that would naturally run
through them every year; and we
hope that in the future, when there
arc box drains to be made, the
Council will profit by the lesson
already learned, and have all box
drains constructed large enough
and deep enough to be Of some
practical benefit.
