A CARD.

I,asnpcb "a there seems to be some misunder-
,s,d;nr rs IN the motives that prompted ma
iority OF the Town Council IN 'ouhg uo"H =.
1roposi,ion to erect street lamps; l ueeui -
proper 10 state the reasons that lmpeIleu W -
rroprse have taken and ] think when TOE peoPle
kno,v the facts that are connected with the case
there will not be a rdsi majority IN iaFor u ".
,oUn incurrinr an additional debt, when 1t Is not
prepared at this time 70 pay cents On Tue uoI.'
nc IL borded debt This bonded debt was created
on The lst day of August, 1873, payable ten years
after date, with interest at per ceniuin-inleIes
10 be paid semi annually, the bonds bearing upon
their lace a condition, reseTving the rlght 20 inc
town authorities 10 call all any portion oil them
in at the expiration OF three years. inree
vears and sig months have passed, and yet there
has been no provision made 10 meet tas liaOiiity
Now. the question IS ii the present council
do not shape their so as to curtail this deo
viii IL not be much harder the people Tor some
future council to be compelled to raise means 10
paw of the deb; in one, two or three payments
| ain. and ALWAYS have been, in favor OF public
improvements when they do not conflict with or
operate against tie interest or welfare OF those
/ who are obliged to maintain them. / should Ike
very much TO see the town lighted with street
lamps but cannot ut the present depressed con-
dtion Of our industries and the inability OF many
of our people TO pay their present taxes, endorse
any measure that will tend to an increase oil tue
/ present rate OF taxation.
Nv reasons for opposing the lamp question are
these ls.. The committee appointed fer the pur-
pose Of ascertaining the probable cost Of lighting
/ The town. decided TO erect IS lamps, at probable
first cost Of $3.50 so, allowing man SlI5 for at
tending to them, and yearly thereby cost OF
! 1923 for that number; when in reality II any one
will take plot Of the town, and give one lamp to
each cross street and alleys running alright angles
with the streets, and allowing some for localities
near the corporate limits, they will find that 80 Is
| very little more than half enough. Now in order
/ TO meet the expense Of these 80 lamps, the whole
people would be taxed, and only portion OF them
| receive the benh,.
! Nv second reason is That there is bonded
debt of 50 GOO payable in six years from the first
/ of next August; and in order for the town TO
sustain her credit, its authorities should devise
! measures looking to the meeting " her ob!iga-
/ tions promptly, and if public stewards have so
little regard for their constituents interests as not
| 10 guard well the credit Of the town, they render
! themselves unworthy the trust.
| Nv 3rd reason is: That there is not enough
! money on hand now % pay for fixing up the Mar
ket-IIouse lot, by enclosing with proper fence,
planting trees and sodding the yard, in obedience
10 an order made by the Council three months ago.
Respectfully,

The Integrity of Woman
The Baltimore Sun says:

The Baltimore Sun says:
There has been another mournful scene in
Washington among the poor treasury girls who
have been turned out Of employment without
previous notice. They are mostly meritorous
young ladies who have faithfully and honestly
discharged their duties. The integrity which
has been characteristic Of women in the ser
vice Of the government has been a matter Of
special notice Daring an administration in
which dishonesty ran riot in various branches
cf the public service, not one woman has ever
been accused or suspected Of the prevailing Of
fetal crime OF the millions which have pass
ell through the hands Of treasury clerks not
the smallest fractional part Of a dollar has ever
adhered 10 the hands Of woman
