The funds now in the possession Of
Shelton are doing the people no good at

and crossings ordered built. Also the
70 d leading to the LIST st bridge should be
M shed up, and the sloughs bridged so
as IT, Increase the use of the bridge. The
street work cannot be begun too early, and
isre. lily an emergency case. The need of
d Jail is imperative. and plans are being
m ade. Ordinances ordering clearing of
\ lots and construction of sidewalks are
qui'e necessary to insure the performance
oI the work by some property holders.
