Not u Candidate.

After mature deliberation, Col. James
w. Ware, OF this city, representa- We
to the State Legislature, has decided not
to allow his name to be used for Speaker
of the House. Mr.. Ware assigns as a
reason for Withdrawing from the Speak.
ersbip, that he can much better serve his
constituents upon the floor, and as a
member of committees. He takes the
stand that he was elected by the citizens
or Wilmington to serve their interests
and if he allo wed his name to be used as
speaker and succeeded (of which there
is little doubt) he could not have voice
in the committees, aud therefore could
not serve the citizens of Wilmington as
he desires

Several banking firms in Stockholm have

stand to the Swedish peasants in much

About Street improvements.

An honest aud capable city council can be
made great public benefit; an Incompetent one
cannot be said TO be lone of the noblest works
Of man "
-Four years ago several of the public spirited
citizens OF Ottawa, recognizing the necessity of
better road to and from the Fair Grounds and
Ottawa Cemetery ria Ottawa Avenue, offered to
largely Gciray the expenses II the city council
gould undertake aud carry out the improvement.
No notice was taken of the proposition
Subsequently, we believe, under Mr.. Lynch's
administration, a system of street improvements
sas inaugurated and carried out, which has re-
suited IN the making OF three or four good roads
leading to the city limits on the north and cast
and during last year the work was extended west
on Main 70 Clay street.
1t was rot doubted that the city council for
Ihis year would take up the Improvement where
i was left of last year and extend the same south
On Clay street With a view of finally completing
sne same TO the Fair Grounds and Ottawa Gene
terry. TIE necessity for the improvement was
apparent. The taxpayers in that part Of the city
have always chcerfully and without complaint
submitted 10 taxation for street improvements in
avery other part Of the city
As usual, however, it seems that no improve
ments are TO be made in that quarter
Whether or not this is owing TO the fact that
most OF the taxes collected in the fifth and sixth
wards are paid by people living south Of Madison
street, and hence have no rights, or whether it
is tina. the people have less voting population to
Inc acre than in some other parts, we cannot
tell.
Certain it is that not only his Honor, the
iiayor, but the chairman OF the street and alley
The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1879-08-09

committee, stated TO the writer hereof that NJ
street improvements would or could be mad,
| this year for want OF mcans-a very good reason
| The mayor and chairman seem to have lost in
nuencc with themselves, for what have the city
been doing? Have they done any more towards
improving the greatest travelled highway Of the
icity:
OF course they have done no such thing. On
the contrary they have in their collective wisdom,
on the recommendation Of the street and alley
committee, ordered the crawling Of Main street
hot south on Clay, but west two blocks on
Main street--whch, by a curious coincidence,
lust ends the work at Alderman Whites brewery:
considerable on the part of the council, it must be
confessed, particularly as there ,yery little tray
eli on Main street west Of that point.
Then, again, they have ordered another 'ery
necessary job, no less than the crawling of Gin
ton street from Madison strcei to the foundry
bridge, a street on which there is no business
and little travel. The necessity for this improve
ment is only apparent to the aldcrmanic mind
Probably this is where Aldermen Leonard re
ceiycs pay for his valuable services.
Finally, to complete the farce and to demon
strac the utter lncapacity OF the chairman of the
street and alley committee, on his FURTHER recon-
mei,daijon the council have ordered the gravel
ing Of the street from the school house in South
Ottawa, south five blocks to connect with the
gravel road
OF course, gentlemen, you have no money to
spend on to trihing an affair as the improvement
of the great public highway to the cemetery and
fair grounds, but you seem to have found enough
to gravel full half mile on streets on one half
of which there is no travel.
1t Is due to the chairman Of the street and alley
committee to state that he has very kindly vol.
untcercd to expend az much money in inprov-
ing Ottawa Avenue as the citizens may raise by
voluntary subscription Such condcscenson and
bcncvolcnce ought not to go unrewarded and
probably would not tCeyc there gra'el rand in that
direction.
The city council is body wonderfully and
fcarfuly made, and in its actions reminds one of
the decision of the Dutch justice, who to plea
to the jurisdiction Of his court said THAT he
had been a magistrate for twenty five years, but
had got TO learn where the jurisdiction OF JUS
ticc Of the peace commenced or ended"
Go on, gentlemen, by all means, and gravel
Clinton street and grateful people will not for
get to suitably reward you. y.

The results of the examination show marked

that the plan Of work is different in different
