Shelton Is in many respects similar t
Oriipu. near Tacoma, and for comparl-
son of progress during the past year thu
following extract may be OF interest:
THAT people may know something
about what has been done [ will give you
some figures as to what has been expended
for the public good: In the first place
there was a pound and Jail built, at an
expense of about 1925; for grading and
crawling streets and putting down plank
Street CROSSINGS there has been paid oul
in round numbers $4,000. And yet there is
more to sollow. This town is not a
booming loMn, and for one do not want
TO see any boom. We are growing steady
and strong. Land is not high here now
1t can be bought at reasonable figures
and ON easy terms. Fortunes are moi
made here in a day. but good homes are
here for all, rich and poor alike"
The conditions of the respective towns
is much the same, and the income about
the same, the difference arising from the
management. Ortiny was Incorporated
in April last. Shelton, having about ST.
600 in cash, now has about half mile of
graded streets, two bridges and no side
walks to speak OF, not even crossing
put down 10y the town. Ortlng has three
miles of sidewalk for the benefit of her
people this winter, while we of Shelton
do the best we can.
In November an Ordinance was passed
after great effort. on the part of chairman
She ton, ordering the;laying down of 81 e
walk on certain streets, but it was then
too late for any to be built in season for
the winter, and owing partly to the wealth.
er none have attempted to comply with
The ordinance. The JOURNAL referred to
the matter frequently ever since last
spring until it became an old story; and
after the settlement of the weighty matter
OF the bridge, it was impossible to secure
a quorum OF the council for some months
Or until too late to have sidewalks for
this winter. There is much complaint
because of the lack of sidewalks on fire.
quented streets, and it is Il matter of shame
tllat the people have allowed this bad
management, to say the least.
There has been no money in the treas
ury for couple of months, and what ever
has been done, or is to be done, increases
the debt. As yet the pcrtv-holders,
having had to pay no city tax as the sa-
loon licenses have furnished the money
so far disposed of, haye paid little atten-
ton 10 what is being done; hut this year
tax must be levied, when, no doubt,
they will take more interest
