WORKING THE ESTREETS.-The propo-
sition to work the streets by contract
appears to be o wise one, and it should
certainly have fair trial. By secur-
ing a responsible person to mako a
special business Of the matter, the
town should be able to secure better
results with diminished expenditure
of money. The streets in most cities
and even the public highways in the
Northern States are kept in repair by
contract, and there is 10 reason why
the method cannot be extended to
Winnsboro.
