COAAERCE AND TRADE
coMMEaCIAL.


ALIAS. Jan. 22.-Yes there are many things
70 be considered in the building up OF city and
the development OF cvuntry's resources. OF
course Dailas wants paved streets. OF course sho
wants hidswalks and sewerage, of course she
wants opera-houses and fine hotels, but thera Is
smother want which other counties and cities
seem TO appreciate, and that seems to be undis-
cernible by the average Dallas perception. To
De more explicit, VIZ must have better county
r0aos and more attention paid 10 the structure
ana mainlanance OF bridges leading to our city.
A. TO streets and sidewalks the city govern
msnt and citizens OF Dallas must attend, but
ior the opening up the keeping in or
DER ana Improvement OF highways leading
70 the city the county board should be rospon-
sible--ior NEGLECT or failure most important
move has latc'y been made, after much delay.
IN the matter OF the purchase Of the bridge over
me Trinity This is deserving of all commends-
ton, and we rejoice that the expressions OF tho
public through the HERALD have ut last been
Needed and acted on by the board. But II must
be acknowledged that we depe4d great deal,
especially our retail trade ON the ability of the
do have u free bridge, II We do not have aces,
the people beyond tho Trinity cannot
avail themselves Of the exemption from toll
What we dc want IL the manifestation OF the
same liberal spirit toward the county roads that
we have already shown In the matter OF the
bridge. Ills notorious that Oallas Is compare
lively duh and trade ourtaed as long as bad
quenual In measure upon the fact that the
splendid country surrounding us cannot bring
Its pr0ducts to maket when bad weather makes
the roads bad. Let us go to work then and com.
plete and perfect the idea. What we have spent
will 10 Of no avail unless the scheme 10 fully
carried out. " would DO like building the walls
OF house without putting ON the roof. little
tudicl0us appropriation and subscription to the
completion Of bridges snd Improvement OF roads
would render further aid Unnecessary and save
70 US All tho advantages Of past contribltionto
their end. We believe in our board OF com
missionsrs and merchants, and think only a
hint, suggested by the present condition OF
affairs, IL necessary to make us, as other coun-
ties, the recipient of all the farmers productions
either when the heavens smilo or the elements
are most unpr0pitious.
