The past few years have witnessed a marked
improvement in our streets and sidewalks, and
it is to be hoped that this year will be no eX-
coption to the rule; AS far ms possible, the ex-
Upnditures on our streets should be of "A per
luanent character, and the incomplcted work
should he finished as soon as possible.
our city has so miles Of streets to care for
and, if "a certain amount of permanent work
can be done upon them each year, consistent
with the means at command, they will all in
time be equally good. We have now six and
oue-half miles of maCadamiZed and paved
streets, eleven and one-fourth miles gravelled,
which shows that this point has not been ne
elected. There are now over seven miles of
tagged sidewalks, where a few years since not
one foot existed. Let the good work continue
every additional block, curbed and tagged,
axes IL easier to finish the next one, and soon
shall have good dry walks in all Of the more
iupulous parts of the city.
In this connection | would add, in order that
their fun benefit may be enjoyed, cross walks
should be constructed, and these should be laid
AZ soon as possible in every street much used,
and where sewers and water-pipes have been
laid. The matter Of establishing street lines is
an important point and should not he longer
delayed. Its need is so well stated in the city

DENT OF THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN.
Most of the Former city Officers Rc-elect-
ed -- Important Recommendation in
Mayor Crombie's NIessage-The
Standing Committees.

The new Board of Aldermen met for the
purpose of organizing Monday afternoon
with all of the members present as folows

j. T.. Painchaud; Third ward, G.. r. Rand
and Joseph Roberts; Fourth ward, n. X.
Brown and f. b. Johnson; Fifth ward,
Elias Lyman and j. W. Hayes
The Board was called to order by City
Clerk Alien. The first business was the
election of a president, for which Aldermen
Storrs and Hayes were appointed tellers. On
the first ballot the vote stood: Alderman
Lyman, 3; Alderman Brown, 3; and
four more ballots, were taken without
change in the vote. On the 9th ballot Al
dcrman Lyman, who had hitherto voted for
Alderman Brown changed his vote, consider
ing that he had fulfilled his promise to Alder
man Brown TO support him and that it was
useless to do SO further, rs there was no
probability of the deadlock being broken in
any other way. The vote then stood Alder
man Lyman g. Alderman Brown i, and the
former was declared elected president of the
Board. President Lyman briefly returned
his thanks for the honor conferred and the
Board proceeded to business
Alderman Trick moved the adoption of
the rules of the last Board and it was so
voted. The president appointed Aldermen
Brown and johnson n committee to wait
upon Mayor Crombie and inform him that
the Board was organized and ready to re
ccive any communication he might desire TO
make The mayor then appeared before the
Board and read his message as follows

one of the most important subjects connect
eu WIN the street department is that of the ex-
tension of the sewerage. Wherever water is
supplied or drainage required there must be
some way provided for the escape of sewage,
therefore every effort should be made TO ex-
Ieh,t the sewerage and to this end the trunk or
main sewer should he carried where most
needed. At present the total length of sewers
Is Is T. miles, and as yet Ii tie has been done for
thc northern part of the city. The main trunk
sewer up Battery street has been carried
across Battery Park. This year it should be
extended tp North street and as far up that
street as the appropriation will allow.By so do
ing the laterals from the streets crossing North
street can he laid at comparatively small eX-
penso To the city, as their cost will be largely
paid by the frontage assessment.
unfinished portions in some of the main sew
ers IN the central portion of the city should be
completed; for instance, the one on Main
street, from summit to Prospect, should be
constructed. At present the overflow from the
Reservoirs is compgllsd to run down the Col
Slrdrted and IL small, crooked and barely suf-
ilcicnt for the natural sewage which is emptied

The Shelburne street sewer should be complot-
and to Beach through Willard.

THE HON. JESSE sPALDINo.

In TINS issue We present TO our pa
irons q portrait of the Hon. Jess
Spalding, one of Chicago's solid citi-
zeDs. This gentleman is reputable
example of the excellence and capacity
of our American system, which gives
to all who deserve ii, success. Per-
haps we had better explain what We
mean by this.
In this land the road to honor, pre-
ferment or wealth is not barred in any
way. There is not a boy in the public
schools of this nation to-day who can
not look for prosperous, successful
career, If he will study the lives and
habits of successful, honored men, and
adopt the same habits and principles
which governed them and kept them
from the pitfalls that wreck so many
of our youth. The world has long
known that there is but one road to a
successful career, and the foundation
must be laid, broad and deep, upon
which TO build character that in
manhood will command the appro-
baton, confidence and respect of your
fellow citizens; there must he integ
rity, industry, honor, good habits,
and, above all, determination, or the
ability to steadily pursue one line
of endeavor, with the disposition to
wait patiently for results. Mr.. Spald-
ing came TO Chicago in 1896, with
no capital but good health, sturdy
frame, and a supply of good, old
fashioned notions, that had been in
stilled into his mind during his boy
hood, in his native state, Pennsylvania.
That he had learned to speak the truth
avoid questionable or dissolute asso-
ciates deal fairly and honestly with
all; keep mis- promises and engage
ments, and live within his income, are
best known to all who knew him as a
young man. These qualities gave
him friends, employment and the
confidence OF all who knew him, and
it follows naturally that he has quietly
but successtully built up competency
and is known and respected as one OF
the honored patriot citizens of Chi
cago.
Mr.. Spalding has been the recipient
of many honors conferred upon him
for his acknowledged ability and
probity, and in every instance where
trust has been confded to him, ht
has fully met the requirements of 6
public officer or the American citizen
AS chairman of the committee
entrusted with the arrangements fol-
the reception OF the national Repub-
lican convention in this city, 1880
that nominated the lamented Garfield
he displayed much executive ability
and informed his fellow citizens as tc
his capacity to direct and control large
forces. He has twice been solicited
by many Republicans of Chicago to
become a candidate for mayor, but
has preferred to attend to his business
and property, leaving possible munich
pal honors to those who have more
desire for them.
