We are glad to learn that the City Coun-
Gil has at last been convinced that there is
such a hole as exists on Broadway between
Main and Water. 1t is likely, too, they
have been informed that there will be an
election in the city for officers in January,
and it is quite natural for men when once
in possession of a good thing to wish to hold
it. We would now advise our City Fathers
to bestir themselves, tor there are many
other things that might be done for the sake
of comfort and decency, and of which our
people are tired of speaking through the
public press. If they would do the work
for which the peoples hard earned tax
money is expended, and for which they are
paid, it is quite likely that they would not
have to work so hard on election days or
spend SO much money to carry the cleo
ton.
