this, our streets would be alive with
busy people; our merchants would all
be rushed with business; money would be
plentiful and circulate freely and every body
would be happy But most important of
all, it would result in the building up of
our city into solid blocks. AS the filling

unusual term of comparative quiet and
the disturbance was all made by the female
inhabitants Of this place, who fought and
cursed after the good old manner that has
made them notorious. Patsy Robinson

pals to the whole fuss, and each was fined
by magistrate Cornings, fifty dollars and
costs twice, once for violation of section ten
chapter V and once for disturbing the peace,
under section 10 Of the same chapter, Miss
Wiley refused to go 10 Jail and the officers
were compelled to drag her onto dray at

The success or failure of the street fill
Ing project lies now more in the hands of
those who will be most materially and i'm.
affected by it than anywhere else.
The ordinance establishing the first district
and ordering the Improvements to be made
herein is now in the hands of two of the
most important committees of the city coun-
III and 1t will there receive such considera-
ion as Its great importance calls for. While
We are satisfied that such consideration
will result in the complete convention in its
aVor, OF every member comprising those
committees who is at all open to conversion,
yet we believe that it would be well for the
property holders in the district laid off in
he ordinance to exert themselves a little to =
BRING about favorable report

necessary for us to tell the intelligent prop

lothlng has been or is further from the
minds or purposes of any one connected
With this movement, than to force the ordi,
lance through against the wishes of the
naJority of the property holders it con
erns, No one knows better than those
Who have been engineering this movement
o far, that, uaess they could get the Co
operation of the property holders i'm
nediatey concerned, they could not posi-

las not been single circumstance Justify
ng belief that any extraordinary means
we're intended to be resorted to, in order to
naugerate the Improvement without or in
spite OF the wishes Of the people. On the
contrary, every act shows that the wishes
II the people, lntelligently formed and ex- {
pressed are to prevail and in this matter
more than in any other, govern the actions
d those IN authority. Now, the COM
mlttees who have the ordinance under con.
'ideration are to hold meetings at the ccun-
ell chamber for the purpose of discussing
this ordinance, These meetings will ,
not be star-chamber meetings, but |
public meetings, which the property own
Frs are not only permitted, but earnestly {
requested to attend and they are not only J
requested to attend these meet ;
ngs but are urged also to take an active Y
part in the deliberations of the committees,
o express their views pro and con, to ex-
Dress their opposition to the ordinance, or
my portion thereof, if they feel so inclined
and give their reasons for so opposing it.
The decision Of the committee should be
as much decision OF the people as il will
be decision FOR the people, and to this
end the people, those who are to be imme '
dia'eIy affected by the measure, should take
an active mart in fran;n,, !, Ir I.
