The cost of improving streets is, to the

The cost of improving streets is, to the
property owners of Shelton, a pleasing
contrast to the large tax assessed against
property in nearly every other city ON the
Sound. The cost of grading, putting
down sidewalk and clearing front, will
hardly amount to $50 on any single lot
in town. The GUS aud fills made i'll Sc
attic and Tacoma streets, besides iniuring
the lots, frequently equal the value of
the property, and often close to $1,000.
This fact is one of the disadvantages of
owning property in those cities. Invest
ments in the smaller cities like Shelton
bring much better returns, generally, than
higher priced property in the big cities.
Blaine. on the international boundary
line, has given an exclusive franchise for
putting in water works at that place The
system will cost S175,000 Shelton can
be more easily supplied than any city on
the Sound, the best spring water being
close and abundant and several streams
passing through town. What is being
done here on this question?
