The finding of the body in Frenchman's
BAY, a report Of which appears in our
Gould rboro items seems TO US to demand
am, borough and careful investigation.
v (, 1t knowing more than appears IN the
let Of our correspondent, the questions
naturally arise "was il a murder, suicide,
or did she die from natural causes? The
answer to these questions should be deter
mined The absence of evidence OF eA-
ternal violence proves nothing and for the
credit of our county, its officials should
take measures 10 discover. If possible. her
name. residence, and the manner in which
she came TO her death.
Street Commissioner Calvin =. Jordan
is doing good deal Of efficient work on
our streets. He has converted the road to
the Falls into one of the best roads IN the
county by covering il with heavy layer OF
gravel. Owing TO the great amount OF
trucking over this road il had become abso-
lutely dangerous to those driving IN light
carriages and the Improvement made by
Mr.. Jordan will be highly appreciated by all
our citzaes. He has also greatly improved
Main street by similar process, extending
from Post Office square to the Unitarian
church. On Water street the surface has
been covered BY broken rocks sufficiently
deep 10 make an excellent pavement. While
all this was being done the roads III other
parts Of the city were not neglected and II
is safe to say that when the money appro-
priated for our streets is expended they will
be in better condition than they have been
for years.
The work of Mr.. Jordan as street Com
missioner reflects credit on our City
Government and shows its wisdom IN
selecting him for the position.
