| The TELEGRAM-HEEALD hopes to see
the dock lines Strengthened, the river
narrowed, and the property owners
along the bank compelled to build a
| straight, solid wall, which VIII be a
great improvement To the city at large,
| regardless of individuals; the unsightly
places along the canal banks filled IN
| between sand banks and dock line walls,
the filled-in space be made taxable
| property, which would show not only
one of the greatest improvements our
city has ever made, but it would bring
a large revenue into our treasury. THIS
| lOng-felt and much-needed improve
ment would beautlfy our city, bring
capital within its gates and enhance the
property of every citizen.
| Why not combine for the future IN
terest and general prosperity of oul
home? Let us help to give our city al
air of commercial prosperity.
The TELEGRAM HERALD has l,rO-
claimed our city's advantages for sew
eral years past; 1t has suggested many
| improvements III good faith. All We
need Is a combined move in the right
| direction. Shall We have 1t?
