AN OPEN LETTER.

To THE ESTEEMED GENTLEMEN OF THE
Council:
Most Worthy SirS-Pardon me II in thus
breaking in upon your quiet everyday life

larity of your actions, but cannot restrain
natural desire to make few suggestions
which Your Most Worthy Body has over
looked in the rush of business affairs con.
sequent to the matchmaking of First street.
The latter worthy Improvement, but, by
the way, a very slow one. First, the con-
dition of the Park should be improved; the
CARBON ADVOCATE has frequently called
your attention to this, but you a wisely in
paying no attention to it. Always remem-
Der that "WE are the Council" and that
public opinion is naturally rebellious. Last
year several hundred dollars were spent in
laying this beautifully located plot of
ground out in walks; this year Commend
twenty-five dollars by letting the grass grow
knee deep in those walks. The point
of this is, that next year or the year after,
the Surveyor and A Hundred Dollars will
This is certainly very creditable and W i'll

Secondly, The walk from the Valley
House to the new bridge is a splendid piece
of work, at a very low figure. don't feel
like con iemning this, because it is about on
plane with numerous other things done
in this town for the last quarter of a ceI :
tury. The intention is well, but the Job is
devllish poor. Thirdly, First street is
obstructed with porches, boxes, &C., &C.,
over which pedestrians stumble on dark
nights when the moon don't fill its required
duty and the street lamps are not lighted.
With these matters you, of course, have
nothing to do, only refer TO them as
means of showing how careless some people
really are. Again, l would suggest that
you continue TO pay no attention to public
criticism, as a rule it is only engendered by
people who are jealous OF the position YOU
hold as leaders in shaping The improve.

wisely so, too. The suggestion that the
hose be kept in some barn or stable is de

''NeXt Saturday evening the Democrats
Of Banks township will elect delegates to
