The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1885-11-24

disburse q large amount Of money during
the yeaE A roadway which would give
them relief from this burden Of sin, In
the way Of excessive freights, can be
made for $4,000 or so, 900 for paving.
This Is moi 80 much as the city has Just
paid for roadway through the middle OF
Caldwelrs field, down to the Eighth
ward, and not more than Council Is now
being solicited 70 spend for digging q
canal down TWenty:ninth street, across
am new roadway, and which will destroy
one-third Of Whist has only been finished
about one month.
Fridays RegiaeT urges our business men
10 write to their Mason county friends and
urge them to vote for subscription TO the
Ohio River railroad extension, and If they
think they can be OF more service, TO 60
down there as missionaries toassist in en-
| tightening the heathen," andifthat paper
should call on our business men TO look
after our own interests, to do more home
missionary work and assist in building up
the waste places OF our own Zion, it would
be better employed. :,
Let it urge on our business men to call
on members OF Council and show them
that the importance OF Wheeling's bust
ness interests is the building up OF q va
riety OF industries and also show them the
great need all factories have for good facili-
ties TO ship and receive freights aud how
much the usefulness to the whole com.
munity, OF these establishments may be
impaired by poor roadEays, interfering
with the capacity TO handle as much ma
terial as they have the ability to do.
1t is we'll enough to secure increased
railroad facilities for bringing material to
this city, but Il IS unfair to compel the
owners OF part Of our factories 10 pay one,
half more for hauling the material from
the depot 10 their place than other men
in similar establishments pay.
Our business men paytoo little attention
to the city's business. In the haste to be
come rich they think they have no time
TO look alter public matters, and the result
10 that the city's business, in most cases
drifts into the hands Of other citizens
men OF undoubted integrity, but unior'
tunatsly for the good Of tbeoity, men, who
have never had q business training and
who, while honestly doing what they
think best for all our people, make some.
times serious blunders in some Of their Of.
fcal acts.
viii you, Mr.. Editor, permit a modest
suggestion to yourself in regard 10 city
improvements That Is, that you advo-
cate the spending Of the city's money in
improving those parts Of our city where
the greatest good will result to the great
est number. II you think it better
thing for our city that you advocate build
ing railroad up and down and through
our State, will be satisfied. But If you
think the making Of good roadways, up
and down and through the city better
thing, | would be more than satisfied II
you will say so and keep on saying so, no
matter II some private citizen might now
and then get his toes pinched. :,
As the factories prosper, so do we all
prosper, and il We permit the life to b.
crushed out OF those We now have and de
ter others from being brought to US, II
will not be many years until Wheeling
will be better missionary ground than hel
people would like to see her become.
