DEAR Mr.. EDIroR-My letter to you
few weeks ago with reference to street
sprinkling does not appear to have brought
forth much fruit or rather water Well we
must not despair, but try, try again. Don't
you think it is little short Of a disgrace to
the city, which otherwise with some ex-
ceptions) is so attractive and has so many
natural ad yantages to allow the streets to
remain in such an abominably dusty con-
dition, when it could be avoided at so little
bringing the matter forcibly home to our
City Fathers and compelling them to do
their duty? | think there is, and if the
electors of Kenosha only do their duty at
the next primaries and see that the right
men are put in the right place there will be
no cause for complaint in this respect next
summer. In connection with this dusty
question another one of importance might
be referred to--I mean the rank grass and
and weeds that is allowed to grow without
let or hindrance on our principal streets.
To be sure a good deal of this could be
remedied by individual effort, but the coun-
Gil ought to see that it is done, and if they
have not the power to do SO, then the sooner
this power is granted them the better. [
would call your attention to the beautiful
little park on the property of the Balm
Wagon Company, with its neat iron railing,
well kept grass, promising young trees and
gravel walks and ask if their example could
not be followed with great personal comfort
and decided credit to our city. I would
also refer to the nicely kept grounds con-
nected with the Methodist Church and
parsonage and the Roman Catholic Church
and grounds, and ask you if some of the
other congregations owning beautiful build
ings could not follow the example of those [
have spoken of to great advantage In my
last letter re dust, | have been informed
that one obstacle in the way of carrying
that plan out is the large amount the Water
Company would charge for this water sup
ply. I am inclined to think that [ have
been misinformed, as [ can scarcely believe
that such liberal, public spirited body as
that company is, would for a
moment think Of making any charge what
ever for what would be of so much benefit, |
not only to their fellow citizens but to them
selves. ANTITRUST.
