Some of our property owners ia few
only are grumbling about taxes being
high. The special levies for street grad
ing and sidewalk Improvements have
necessarily been high. Such advances
as We are making involve expense; bat
then the benefits far more than outweigh
the expense. Who would not prefer the
new order of tbings?

Mcnamara of of that firm sold Mr..
Bailey's house and lot to Capt. JAS. Nor
gan ON the strength Of it. Nothing
like printers ink, when it is proper
ly used, you know.
It seems to us that there is serious one
sidedness and injustice in the matter of
distributing electric lights on the hill.
Two lights have been ordered located
in the upper part of town, but they are
both in the western part of town-leav-
ing the whole east side from TAYLOR
street clear to the channel in Egyptian
darkness The main part of pedestrian
travel between the upper and lower
part of town uses the Zigzag steps. A
person going from the glare of electric
lights down town into utter darkness on
the hill is blinded more than if in the
dark the whole way. Can it lie that the
majority of the members OF the city
council living in the western part of town
makes this difference? Very likely the
west side needs two lights-but the
eastern side certainly needs one.
